Sport in our School
Activities in our School
Tag Rugby
Ms. Mc Guinness and Ms. Mulholland organise tag rugby events that take place in the school during the year. This is organised in conjunction with Colin O Hare, the Area Development Officer with Dundalk Rugby Club.
Boys and Girls from 4th, 5th and 6th class will be offered the chance to participate in rugby training for 5 week periods throughout the year. Rugby Blitzes will be held in the Dundalk Rugby Club. Here the children will be given a chance to compete against other schools in a "friendly" league.
BasketBall
Mrs. Smith started up the first ever Basketball team within the school for boys and girls in 6th class. The children were extremely interested. The teams were very successful and enjoyed participating in competitions held in Dundalk Sports Centre. She hopes to get the teams up and running again this year.......so
WATCH THIS SPACE!!
Tennis
All children in the school from junior infants to sixth class participate in tennis coaching for one hour each week with our pro coach Gus. They thoroughly enjoy the experience. They will be participating in team events in the near future. Also sections of the playground are being lined for tennis courts. So watch out....we could have future Wimbledon stars in the making!
Gaelic
The Girls Gaelic team are being trained this year by Master D'Arcy. It is hoped that the team will play against other local schools in a series of blitzes and competitions. Keep up the GREAT WORK girls!!
Swimming
Each class from 1st class to 6th class is taken swimming for a period of 8 weeks in Aura Leisure Centre in Dundalk. The children are divided into groups according to their ability. By the end of 6th class each pupil should be a fully competent swimmer.
