Food Dudes is back !
We are delighted that the Food Dudes Healthy Eating Programme is back in our school. A selection of fruit and vegetables will be provided for the boys to taste on different days. The aim of the programme is to encourage the boys to try fruit and vegetables and come to enjoy the taste of the foods. They will be rewarded with small prizes for eating these foods. Health experts recommend that children eat at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables each day. The boys are really enjoying all the tastings so far.

County Final Major School Soccer Success for Newport BNS
On Friday 8th April, Newport Boys National School travelled to Two Mile Borris for the major schools county soccer tournament. Newport BNS won all their group stage matches and topped the group. We played St Ailbhe’s Thurles in the semi final. We won this game narrowly on a scoreline of 3 goals to 2. The final was played in the afternoon Newport BNS v St Peter and Pauls A Clonmel . This was a very tight game with Newport BNS trailing 1 goal to nil at half time. Newport BNS were a much better side in the second half scoring two unanswered goals, the first goal was scored by Johnny Ryan to equalise the game. In the dying minutes of the final Nathan O’Donoghue placed the ball in the bottom left hand corner leaving St Peter and Pauls goalie with no chance. This secured the victory for Newport BNS. We will be playing the Munster finals in Waterford later in the month.
