Active Committee

Parents Committee
We also have a committee of parents, chaired by Róisín Jones, who liaise with school sports committee on active events, do an equipment inventory each year, provide updates for school website on what’s happening in all things sports in our school and lots more!
Clubs that our students are involved in outside of school time.
Every class from 1st to 6th was surveyed to find out what clubs they are involved in. This information was collated and our 6th class students presented findings in a wonderful range of graphs. These graphs are displayed on our Active Boards throughout the school.
Here is a list of contact details for all of the clubs that were mentioned in our survey. Thank you to the wonderful parents on our sports committee for putting it together!
