Each year, the school’s athletics programme starts in earnest with the Cross Country competition in Portmarnock. This year we had record numbers of boys taking part in the trials and were able to field 11 teams across 3 age groups from Under 10 up to Under 13 ½ . On the day, a cavalcade of cars ferried the 76 participants to the Fingal Grounds behind the Portmarnock Sports and Leisure Club. They emerged from the afternoon’s competition with 6 individual trophies including a 1st place and 3rd in the boys’ under 13 ½. All teams emerged with silverware with the Under 10s and 11s taking silver in the team event and the Under 12s and 13s claiming gold. Many thanks to the large numbers of parents who provided transport and great vocal support on the day.
We are celebrating Maths Week this week in Belgrove Senior Boys. Every morning we’ll start with the Maths Problem of the Day to wake up our sleepy brains. During the week, each class will take part in a Maths Trail around our school, working in groups to complete the activities in the classrooms, the yard and the carpark. On Thursday there will be a GIANT MATHS QUIZ in the hall for thirds and fourths, and fifths and sixths, and on Friday the senior classes will take part in Escape Rooms. 3rd classes are going to The Helix on Monday morning to see the Murderous Maths Show, and 4th classes took part in the LEGO® Challenge in Marsh’s Library last week.

Book-lists for 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th class are now available on the Policies, Forms and Helpful Information section of our website. Scroll down to Book-lists 2019/2020 and download the lists relevant to you.
For the first time in decades, Belgrove Senior Boys will have competed in both the Football AND Hurling finals! This astonishing achievement was completed after a comprehensive win over St. Colmcille's, Knocklyon in the semi-final. They will now play in the final against St. Mary's of Lucan; a team the boys narrowly lost to in the first game of the season ( and also the team the boys beat in the Senior Football final! ). On route to the final, the boys toppled the likes of Scoil Mhuire, Marino and St. Brigid's, Castleknock, but will have one more challenge to bring home the ultimate prize. The final will take place on Monday, June 10th, in Croke Park at 12.20pm. Information regarding attendance of the event will be sent home in a letter with the children. Belgrove Abú!
