Active School Week 2024

We had a fantastic week celebrating Active School Week from the 17th to the 21st  of June. The girls loved every minute of all that was planned for them with Tag Rugby, Gymnastics, Dance Routines,  Mr O Boyle's Athletics and of course the much loved Sports Days. Special thanks to Mrs Parkinson who worked so hard organising, planning and overseeing every last detail of what was, a hugely successful wee.

The week of June 8th -12th, should have been Active School Week, but this year, we had a slightly different form of week with our Active Home Week. Thanks again to Mrs Parkinson's hard work and creative mind, our focus for the week was on outdoor pursuits and physical activities and the many benefits we get from them as reflected in the photos received already this week.....

What a week we've had............

                                  the best scooters and scooter allocated                                          time for every class in the yard


Thursday:                         Walk a Mile with A Smile

                                 *** Our Special Assembly to mark the end of                                    Active Schools Week when we will all get to                                      meet 5 Professional Sports People who will                                      share insights into their life on the playing                                          fields
