- Catholic Schools Week is an opportunity to celebrate our Catholic schools as part of the Christian’s community’s effort to truly be Christ’s Body active in our world. The 2012 theme reflects the various ways that the characteristic spirit of the Catholic school enables and encourages pupils and staff to be agents for change, to live the Gospel and to be the body of Christ in our world.
- The Catholic Schools Week Steering Group has prepared resources for use in both primary and post primary during Catholic Schools Week 2012. These resources are available on www.catholicbishops.ie and can be used by: students in the classroom; staff members; parents; members of boards of management; and, the wider parish community.
On Friday last, the Staff & Pupils of Scoil Ursula welcomed representatives of Sligo Rovers Football Club and the FAI Cup to the school for what is becoming an annual event in the school calendar, our ‘Bit o’ Red’ Day!! The pupils and teachers decorated the school and themselves in red for the occasion and gave a rousing welcome to the three players, who played a huge part in the winning of the cup last season, defender, Alan Keane, Cup Final goalscorer, Iarfhlaith Davoren and specialist penalty-stopper, Ciarán Kelly! Sligo Rovers Club Promotions Officer, Keith O’ Dwyer thanked everyone for their support and looked forward to the new season with great hope and confidence. He encouraged everyone to show the same support to the team on the terraces as they had shown the players on their visit. A big thank you to everyone who made the effort to wear the ‘Bit o’ Red’ on the day and for ‘painting the school red’ over the previous week, especially our Rovers Supporter-in-Chief, Ms Dwyer, for adorning the hall so beautifully for the occasion and our Caretaker, Liam, who helped her out. Our thanks also to our official photographer, Seán Carleton, who did a fantastic job on providing a pictorial record of the occasion. We look forward to another successful season for Rovers this year and hopefully we will celebrate another ‘Bit o’ Red’ Day in 2013 and welcome more trophies to our school including, perhaps, the Championship Trophy itself!! Today is Saint Angela's Day. She was the founder of the Ursuline Order, her inspired philosophy of education is the reason our school and hundreds more like it are still in existence today! ·
