With the holidays almost a memory at this stage, at Piercestown N.S. we are preparing to open our door to everyone this Wed. 30th August. We have been very busy over the summer upgrading our facilities for the boys and girls.
We look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday morning!
John Phillips ‘Chos Tae-kwon-do’ Wexford kick off Active Week at Piercestown N.S. this morning Monday 12th June. This will see all classes over the next few days learning participating in this wonderful experience and exercise.
Huge thanks to Mr. John Phillips and Mrs. Linda Phillips for providing this service free of charge to our school.
Tae Kwon Do (also known as Taekwondo) is the art of self defense that originated in Korea. It is recognized as one of the oldest forms of martial arts in the world, reaching back over 2,000 years. The name was selected for its appropriate description of the art: Tae (foot), Kwon (hand), Do (art).
Active Week 2017 kicks off 12th-16th June 2017. Check out the timetable to see what you can join us for. We would love to see you there!!!
After a Trojan effort, the boys from Murrintown and Piercestown defeated St. Anne’s Rathangan to march on to a Rackard League final this Thurs 1st June at 8pm in St. Patrick’s Park Enniscorthy versus Barntown.
It was a nail biting semi final with both teams reluctant to admit defeat. But there can only be one winner and with a final score of 3-11 to 3-8 St. Martin’s emerged victorious on the day.
Best of luck to the boys of Murrintown and Piercestown. Huge thanks to Mr. Murphy and Mr. White for all their efforts to date. We are very excited about the final!!!!!!!!!!!!
So if you are free Thursday night, Patrick’s Park 8pm is the place to be!!!
Hard luck to Ms. Hearne, Ms. Butler and the girls from Piercestown and Murrintown who were pipped at the post for a place in the final by Bunclody. The girls had featured in the football final earlier in the year so have done themselves proud this year. Well done to the girls!
Girls will play their camogie semi final on Monday May 29th at 3pm in Taghmon versus Bunclody.
Boys will take to the pitch in Taghmon on Monday 29th May at 4.15pm for their semi final match versus local rivals Rathangan.
The girls rounders team are also heading to a semi final- details to be confirmed.
Best of luck to all involved!!!
Knockout season is upon us and to date all of our teams have successfully reached the knockout stages.
The first to brave the knockout stage was the boys Rackard league team. They headed to Bree for their quarter final today where they defeated Bree in an exciting and nerve shattering match. But they emerged victorious and are chomping at the bit to see who they will meet in the semi final stage.
Best of luck to Ms. Hearne, Ms. Butler from Murrintown and the camogie Rackard league team who take on Adamstown in their quarter final this Friday in Taghmon at 3.30pm.
Finally, after paying the last round of their group in torrential conditions on Monday last, the girls rounders team have also qualified for quarter final stages. Details to be confirmed. Well done to Mrs. Cooney, Ms. Lyttleton and the girls!
There are plenty of sliotars being practised with around the Piercestown Murrintown area these days. Fingers crossed for continued success.

The countdown is for to the celebration to mark ‘Europe Day’ as part of 6th class participation in the Blue Star programme.
So if you are free tomorrow between 1.30pm-3pm why don’t you join us to hear what 6th class have learned about the European Union over the school year 2016-2017.
This year saw the whole school get involved with every class from Junior infants to 6th class taking on a European country (including Ireland) to study. Hot on the heels of the Art Exhibition, if you walk the corridors of Piercestown N.S., you will be treated to a wealth of information and projects across every noticeboard. We would love you to venture inside and enjoy our learning! At today’s assembly, 1st class informed us that if you travel with a snail on a train in France, you MUST have a ticket!!!!!!!!!
