The annual Sports Day was held at Loreto College Coleraine, Specialist School on Tuesday 15th June in perfect conditions – indeed, the best weather enjoyed on Loreto Sports Day for many years! The day was one of fun and laughter as well as some tightly-fought competition in the official events.  Alongside the serious events came a variety of “fun” contests, such as welly-throwing, minibus-pulling, centipede racing, tug-of-war and a range of tests of skill and co-ordination such as three-legged races and so on, which proved particularly popular with the school’s Year 8 students.

Other events on the day included a ‘steady hand’ test of skill, a fun golf challenge and a hurling ‘Poc Fada’ contest.  For many, attractions lay in the barbecue, ice cream stall and tuck shop, with plenty of opportunities to work off the delicious treats consumed. 

College Principal Mr Brian Lenehan paid tribute to all those who took part, led by Mrs Maureen McCullough, Head of PE at Loreto, and PE teachers Mr Paul Byrne, Ms Julie Wilson and Mr Damien McDonald.
