    A Seed is Sown 1884-1900 (1) Before the GAA From the earliest times, the people of Ireland, as of other countries throughout the known world, played ball games'. Games played with a ball and stick can be traced back to pre-Christian times in Greece, Egypt and other countries. In Irish legend, there is a reference to a hurling game as early as the second century B.C., while the Brehon laws of the preChristian era contained a number of provisions relating to hurling. In the Tales of the Red Branch, which cover the period around the time of the birth of Christ, one of the best-known stories is that of the young Setanta, who on his way from his home in Cooley in County Louth to the palace of his uncle, King Conor Mac Nessa, at Eamhain Macha in Armagh, practised with a bronze hurley and a silver ball. On arrival at the palace, he joined the one hundred and fifty boys of noble blood who were being trained there and outhurled them all single-handed. He got his name, Cuchulainn, when he killed the great hound of Culann, which guarded the palace, by driving his hurling ball through the hound's open mouth. From the time of Cuchulainn right up to the end of the eighteenth century hurling flourished throughout the country in spite of attempts made through the Statutes of Kilkenny (1367), the Statute of Galway (1527) and the Sunday Observance Act (1695) to suppress it. Particularly in Munster and some counties of Leinster, it remained strong in the first half of the nineteenth century.

However, whatever our crosses are, whatever our weaknesses, wherever we are on our journey, we are a community blessed with faith. When we come to Mass, each of us comes with our own joys and blessings, our own worries, our own crosses, weaknesses and failings, but all of us, while on our own individual faith journey, gather together as a community of believers, with one voice, to praise the Lord and to share in the Eucharist. We pray today for everyone in our parish community, especially for those who struggle with their faith, those for whom God may seem distant, those who feel excluded from our love or from God’s love. In the knowledge that God’s House is a place of welcome for all, may each of us be a person of welcome, support and encouragement for others at all times. h SUNDAY MASSES: Vigil: Sat 6.00pm Castlederg.

    Magheramason Presbyterian Church Newsletter September 2015 Keeping in Step with Jesus! Summer Holidays are over for another year and its hard to believe the children are all back at school again at the beginning of another new school year. P1 pupils will be entering Primary School for the first time, others are making the move from Primary to Secondary education and some heading off to university. Perhaps some reading this newsletter are beginning a new job, others may have plans to retire to begin new ventures? Regarding church life in Magheramason, it is all go, as all of our organisations begin again for another season. The past year has been a time of transition for the manse family as we have settled into life in this beautiful part of the country. It has taken time, but we are thankful for all who have helped and supported us prayerfully and practically in early stages of ministry here. We know it is the LORD himself who has led us to this place, as we have sought to follow his clear direction for our lives as a family. At this busy time it is good to stop and ask are we keeping in step with Jesus? On the first Sunday of September to coincide with Sunday School recommencing we had a special Back to School with God service. Many boys and girls led us in prayer and bible readings joining with adults who are involved in different aspects of work in our local schools. Harvest Thanksgiving Services Sunday 11th October 2015 11.30 a.m.

Overall effectiveness 3 Appendices A. Health and safety / Accommodation B. Inspection methodology and evidence base C. Reporting terms used by the Education and Training Inspectorate INTRODUCTION 1. Context Bready Jubilee Primary School is situated in the village of Bready midway between Londonderry and Strabane. The children who attend the school come from the local villages of Bready and Magheramason and the surrounding rural area. There has been an increase in enrolment over the past four years and currently stands at 131. Four of the teaching unions which make up the Northern Ireland Teachers’ Council (NITC) have declared industrial action primarily in relation to a pay dispute. This includes non-co-operation with the Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI). Prior to the inspection, the school informed the ETI that none of the teachers would be co-operating with the inspectors. The ETI has a statutory duty to monitor, inspect and report on the quality of education under Article 102 of the Education and Libraries (Northern Ireland) Order 1986. Therefore, the inspection proceeded and the following evaluations are based on the evidence as made available at the time of the inspection.
