On Friday the 21st of October, we raised our second Active Flag and we were thrilled to have as our guest, Ellen Walshe, Olympic Swimmer, who told us all about her life and what led her to becoming the athlete she is today. She really inspired us all to set goals and to let nothing get in our way. We also got to hold the Olympic Torch that was used for the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Ellen was accompanied by Róisín Jones from the Olympic Federation of Ireland and she gave us all Olympic pins that normally the athletes would swap with athletes from other nations at large events. We are wearing them with pride.
We moved to the car park and raised our Active Flag and a lovely Dare to Believe, Olympic Flag which Ellen and Róisín had brought along as a gift. The rain just about held off but later in the day we celebrated our achievements as a whole school and celebrated our success with our whole school Cha Cha Slide, happy heads all around after a fabulous years work. Go Scoil Íde !
