“Fáilte Bienvenu”!

As part of Féile Peil 2016 our local GAA Club hosted Liffré from France.  This event involved the visiting club being hosted by local families.  The young players together with their coaches, mentors and parents were in Moyvane to participate in the Féile na nÓg 2016 football tournament.  Their visit to our school was an opportunity to display our hospitality and show them what school life is like in Moyvane.  There was an incredible welcome reserved for the young French players.

New friends were made……

A passion for sport was shared……
