Partnerships

We have good partnerships with local sports clubs who come to the school and provide the children with taster sessions.

This includes Gaelic football, rugby and hurling.

We encourage our students to get involved in activities outside of school. Involvement in a local club is most likely to encourage lifelong participation in a sport or activity. Members of sixth class conducted a 'What club are you in?' survey to find out about physical activity opportunities in the local community.
