annual schools athletics at the rsc

On Friday 19th last, a large group of pupils ranging in age from 1st to 6th Class travelled by bus to the RSC in Waterford City to take part in the annual Schools Athletics event.
We had relay teams in most age categories as well as individual sprinters and long distance runners in most categories.
We were delighted at the try-hard attitude and tenacity of our runners! Some children had never run in this capacity before but that didn't stop them. We were thrilled that some of our runners earned medals in different races but truthfully they could all have got one, such was the motivation and dedication shown by a great group of children. It must also be noted that each and every child behaved so well while representing their school. Older pupils were so responsible, helping bring younger pupils to use the bathroom regularly, collecting and distributing bibs for running and just generally making themselves useful to Alison and Mrs Power. Once again, a great day out for Dunhill NS.
