Active School 2024/2025

We are an active school and we were awarded our first Active School Flag last year.

An Active School is a school  where physical activity is valued, promoted and enjoyed by all.

Active School Committee 2024/25

We are delighted to announce that we have set up our Active School Committee for the School Year 2024/2025.

We elected one person from each class along with teachers & SNAs.  

We also have a community representative.

Our Active School Slogan is:

'We are fun, we are cool, 

we are proud to be active in 

Lios Cearúil'.

PE strand of Focus for 2024/2025

This year we are focusing on improving the 'Gymnastics' strand of the PE Curriculum.  We are delighted to welcome Megan from School Fitness Ireland to our school in November to do 4 sessions of gymnastics with every class.  This will help to upskill pupils and staff on this strand.  We also will concentrate on fundamental movement skills as outlined in our PE plan for the year.  

We will also encourage class teachers to book active school tours where possible.
