We are an active school and we were awarded our first Active School Flag two years ago.
An Active School is a school where physical activity is valued, promoted and enjoyed by all.
We are delighted to announce that we have set up an Active School Committee for the past three school years
We elect 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 2026/2027
This year we are focusing on improving the 'Outdoor & Adventure' strand of the PE Curriculum. . 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.
Our Active School Noticeboard is inside the front door.
We love to display and celebrate all the activities we engage in at school.
We also have our Active School slogan on it
'We are fun, we are cool, we are proud to be active in Lios Cearúill.
