ACTIVE SCHOOL WEEK

Every June our active school committee help the teachers organise an Active School Week. They help set up the obstacle course, sack race, egg and spoon race, penalty shoot out and organised cooperative games for all the classes. They also help award the prizes for the winners of the daily challenge! Sometimes we have some special visitors to the school to teach our students different skills. 
Here is a sample of the activites our students get the opportunity to participate in: 
Cooperative games
Games that require the students to work together as a team in order to win.
athletics
Sprints, relay races, long jump, shot put, javelin etc
dance
Free dance, dance routines, disco in the hall.
tag Rugby
Sometimes a coach from Clontarf RC come to teach the classes how to play tag rugby. 
swimming
Senior classes have the opportunity to participate in swimming lessons in Coolock swimming pool.
walkway activities
We have a 'Slí na Sláinte' map that lays out our walkway and the different distances we can cover for various activities. WE can incorporate Maths, Geography, Spelling and Mindfulness into our walks.
We achieved our Active School Flag by fulfilling the criteria under the following headings. Click a heading to learn more.
