Sports Day was filled with lots of fun and laughter and our Junior & Senior Sport’s Day were a great success! Classes had a great time taking part in all the different activities around the school. We did obstacle courses, sack races, potato & spoon relays, high jump, parachute games, basketball and we had fun with space hoppers too! The senior classes particularly enjoyed our water & sponge relays! Please find lots of photos below!

Congrats to Jack who won gold in the long distance running event; Tadhg who got a silver medal in high jump and the boys relay team, Ryan, Tariku, Lewis and Conor, who all won a medal for coming 4th!

This month’s Active School Flag challenge is take take fun active breaks each day. Our active school flag committee representatives are responsible for filling in the active chart and making sure that each class has active breaks every day! Our current PE strand is gymnastics. Each class is enjoying exploring how movement can be developed sequentially as well as different actions such as jumping, turning, swinging and balancing with the control and management of body movements in increasingly challenging situations.
June 2021 We are proud to have officially been awarded our Active School Flag! The ASF is a Department of Education and Skills initiative and is awarded to schools that strive to achieve a physically educated and physically active school community. A huge thank you to pupils, staff, parents and the whole school community for their enthusiasm for all of the activities & initiatives, and to parents for being such active role models for your children! The Active School Coordinator was very impressed with everyone’s efforts, in particular for Active School Week and he commented on how our school seems like a very positive, happy environment. Well Done everyone! We will have a little Active Flag Raising Ceremony this month. Until then, please find a photo of each class celebrating with our Active Flag!
