WHS Parents' Council Table Quiz 2025
The WHS Parents’ Council executive committee hosted a fun and relaxed table quiz night at the school on Thursday evening, the 1st of May, 2025. It was wonderful to see so many families, students, and faculty spending time together, getting to know one another better, and enjoying a bit of friendly competition.
Congratulations to our top-scoring table teams: students taking the first and third places and a team of faculty members posting the second highest score. Prizes were awarded to top teams, for a handful of silly achievements, and to the lucky holders of winning raffle tickets.
The Parents’ Council raised over €850, which is earmarked to support IT equipment in the school computer room. Thank you so very much for refreshment and prize donations from within our parent community. Special thanks to support from businesses in our wide WHS community, which include prize donations from Dolan Allcare Pharmacy in Moate and Lilliput Adventure Centre.
WHS Parents' Council Golf Classic 2024
The Parents’ Council at Wilson’s Hospital School organised a very successful Golf Classic fundraiser in September 2024 at Moate Golf Club. It was a very well supported event and enjoyed by all who took part. The organising committee of the Classic included Veronica Anderson, Mandy Finnegan, Thelma Greene, David Hundley, Leonard O'Mahony and Robert Dolan. They would like to thank the many sponsors of the event for their generous donations of funds, prizes and also participating in the competition.
A huge thank you to Moate Golf Club for their help and support in organising the event. Everyone involved were complimenting the Club on the standard and presentation of the course on the day. The superb meal provided by the club’s 'Par 3 Restaurant' went down very well with the players coming in from the course on a day. Some players were lucky with a totally dry round and others had to take shelter! The committee would also like to thank TY student Oscar Hundley for his help and early start to put up the signage throughout the course and for acting as photographer for the day. A special thanks to Jean Dolan for baking the treats for the golfers as they made their way around the course.
It was an enjoyable, successful day and the committee are grateful to all who gave their time and support to the event.
The prize winners included:
Winning team: Midland Computers
2nd Team: Shaws Arro, Mullingar
3rd Team: Fox's Fruit, Mullingar
4th Team: John Farrelly
Nearest the Pin: Kevin Fogarty - Fox's Fruit
Longest Drive: Women: Marian Fogarty - Fox's Fruit

In particular, it was great to have a team of students (David, John, Cian & Tori) play so well in the event. That they finished in front of the two teachers' teams in the final tally made the day all the better for them!
