Free Talk on ORTHOSCOPICS
In Newbridge Library Tuesday 7th February 2012

If your child is under achieving it may be due to perceptual problems
which are caused by malfunctions in the eye/brain communication chain.
Orthoscopics is an optical system that eliminates distortion and
spherical aberration. It is estimated that 10% of all children/adults
may suffer from this disorder. It involves an additional assessment in
conjunction with your child*s optometric care which rates the way the
visual system reacts to different types of stimulus. Orthoscopics has
helped relieve symptoms related to Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Migraine and
other neurological ailments.

FAI Schools Futsal

siobhanfitzpatrick — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 14:59:07 +0000

A big WELL DONE to all the boys and girls who competed in the FAI Futsal Tournament this week. The competition was held in Newbridge Sports Centre over two days with the boys competing Thursday and the girls team out in action today.

The boys played three matches with some wonderful performances. After coming second in their group they were unfortunate that only the first team went on to the qualifiers.

Meanwhile the girls played six matches with great effort and determination. Sadly, after a tense final match they had to settle for a 1-1 draw in a game where they would have needed to win for a spot in the final.

Boys’ Team: Terry, Dan, Mark, James, Jay, Finbar, Tom and David.

Girls’ Team: Tara, Lauren, Gloria, Hannah, Orlaith, Nikita, Halo and Malak.

Overall a fun and enjoyable day was had by all and 3rd class are already looking forward to being involved in the competition again next year!
