Given the importance of sport in relation to wellbeing we are happy that many Bower girls distinguished themselves in the sporting arena recently.
Ciara McManus TY has just been called up to the U16 Ireland soccer squad while Carla McManus had a great year with the U17s last season.
Third year Aine Gallagher has been called up to the Connacht U16 hockey squad for the October interpros.
Kate Derwin TY was highly instrumental in helping Ireland to a medal at the European Pony Championships in Hungary in July.
Third year Rebecca Lowe was with the Ireland swimming squad and has been offered a high performance scholarship.
Past pupil Anna McGann was in Canada with the Ireland rugby sevens this summer while our own Rose of Tralee has swapped her international soccer jersey for that of her Galway club.
Staff member Ciaran MacCarthy completed the arduous Warriors Run up the slopes of Knocknarea and back in one hour and twenty minutes. Well done to all!
