Killarney Camogie Club is to launch a ‘Hurl With Me’ initiative which will allow parents to train with their daughters.

The plan is to encourage more females to take up coaching camogie at grassroots level.

One of the club’s Under 10 coaches Laura McLarnon attended the Camogie Association’s Motivate Nurture Aspire (MNA) programme last weekend.

This MNA acronym is also a play on the Irish word for women.

Killarney Camogie Club was one of 31 clubs nationwide to be represented at the course that was run in partnership with Sport Ireland at the Technological University of the Shannon Thurles Campus.

“The MNA programme is an initiative of the Camogie Association where they strive to increase opportunities for females in coaching, active participation, officiating and leadership by strengthening the perceptions of females in sport,” said Killarney Camogie Club PRO Caroline O'Leary.

“We look forward to supporting Laura in implementing her mentoring successfully in Killarney Camogie Club.”

Students from St Brendan’s College have given €600 to Kerry Hospice.

The money was raised from their book, ‘Futures from the Past’ which was published in April 2024.
Teacher Mary Denise Lyons and students Divo Lucic Kovacevii, Michéal McElligott, and Jaroslav Stetsenko handed over the funds to Cathal Walshe of Kerry Hospice.
‘Futures from the Past’ is a book written by current and retired writers, as well as students from St Brendan’s College.
This donation is the second from the book, with €800 donated last year and €600 this year.
The book was created to allow students to use their imaginations to explore the past and think about the future. It involved students from Poetry Ireland’s Writers-In-Schools Programme and adult learners from Kerry Education & Training Board’s Community Education Creative Writing group.
The book was launched at St Brendan’s College in April last year and was made possible with support from Poetry Ireland and the Arts Office of Kerry County Council.

School Dayz

Transition Year students at Killarney Community College spent last Tuesday learning the skills to become baristas.

They completed a full-day training course and are now qualified to make coffee, which could make them very employable in local cafes and restaurants this summer.
Their teachers, who are described as the school’s “resident coffee experts,” were impressed with the students’ hard work and enjoyed the lattes, cappuccinos, and Americanos the students made throughout the day.
In addition to their barista training, the TY students also took a trip to Mallow. There, they learned about the rules of the road, practiced the driver theory test, and many got behind the wheel of a car for the first time. They also learned about the dangers of speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
