A huge well done to the students of St. Louis Secondary School, Carrickmacross on completing the first ever Summit Sisters Programme in Monaghan 💜🥾

Over the three weeks, the girls enjoyed exploring local trails, taking on new challenges, getting creative through jewellery making and tote bag design, and most importantly having fun along the way.

A sincere thank you to Mountaineering Ireland, Margaret for leading the walking sessions, and to Hannah from Rua Designs for facilitating the creative workshops.

Monaghan Sports Partnership was delighted to fund the creative element of the programme, helping to make the programme available to the school free of charge.

We are incredibly proud of how the girls embraced the programme and we look forward to working with Mountaineering Ireland to bring Summit Sisters to even more schools within the county in the future.

Over the past two days, Monaghan Sports Partnership was delighted to support the delivery of the Table Tennis Primary Schools Roadshow in conjunction with Table Tennis Ireland.
It was fantastic to see pupils and teachers from the following schools getting involved:

🏓 Scoil Rois, Carrickmacross
🏓 Bunscoil Lughaidh Naofa, Carrickmacross
🏓 Annalitten National School
🏓 St Michael's NS, Annyalla
🏓 Scoil Éanna, Ballybay

The roadshow gave pupils a fun and active introduction to table tennis, while teachers also received practical training and resources to help bring the game back to their schools.

Each school has now received Table Tennis Packs, including nets, bats, balls and a resource pack to support the delivery of a six-week table tennis programme with their pupils.

The fun doesn't stop here! 🎉
Schools will now continue the programme over the coming weeks before coming together in the new year for a Table Tennis Blitz Day, where pupils will have the chance to showcase their skills, enjoy some friendly competition and celebrate all they have learned.

A big thank you to Jing, Table Tennis Ireland tutor, and to all the schools, teachers and pupils for their enthusiasm, energy and participation over the two days. We can't wait to see everyone again at the blitz! 👏🏓😊
