& SUPPORT - we will be forever grateful
We are absolutely thrilled to share that our recent Bunscoil na Toirbhirte Golf Classic was a wonderful success, raising much needed funds for our new astroturf facility. The day was filled with fun, camaraderie,fantastic golf and amazing weather! It simply would not have been possible without the incredible support of our community and businesses.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to all the generous sponsors and supporters who came on board to back this special event. Your kindness and community spirit are deeply appreciated and were essential to making the day such a triumph.
To all the players who took part, thank you for showing up with such enthusiasm and positivity. Your participation brought great energy to the course and made the two days so enjoyable for everyone.
We’d also like to express our gratitude to everyone in Mitchelstown Golf Club. The course was in immaculate condition, and we extend sincere compliments and thanks to the staff for their professionalism and hospitality throughout.
A special thanks goes out to the many volunteers and helpers who gave so generously of their time. We really appreciate all of their support. Special thanks to our Parents’ Council members who gave their time so generously, and to our wonderful school community, our parents, pupils, teachers, and SNAs for for their wholehearted support of the event.
We are especially grateful to our dedicated school secretary, Bridie McGrath, and caretaker, Billy Murphy, who both went above and beyond. Their commitment did not go unnoticed.
A heartfelt thank you also goes to our chief organisers, Board of Management members Mary Rea and Pat Mullins(Chairperson), whose leadership, passion, and dedication were absolutely instrumental in bringing this event to life. It would not have been such a successful event without them.
We’ve been blown away by the amazing feedback we’ve received and are already looking forward to next year’s Classic with great excitement!

March 2025
We are excited to share the wonderful news that, after years of careful planning, our brand-new astroturf pitch is now fully installed and already making a positive impact on our school community! Our girls and boys are thoroughly enjoying this vibrant new space during lunch breaks and PE lessons. The pitch provides a safe, high-quality environment for physical activity, sports, and play, and is a valuable resource for promoting sports in our parish and surrounding areas.
While the astroturf pitch is now up and running, and has already proven to be a great asset, we still have an outstanding balance on our overall costing of €55,000 to repay. To help us achieve this, we are hosting the Bunscoil na Toirbhirte Golf Classic, and we would be absolutely delighted if you would consider joining us for what promises to be an exciting and enjoyable event.
