PARTNERSHIPS:

Active Flag Committee – Our Active Flag Committee was formed in early October 2024. It includes children from 1st class up to 6th class. Pupils are given various roles and tasks to carry out throughout the school year such as making announcements at assembly, giving messages to the classrooms on various initiatives, updating the Active Schools Flag display board, picking the Active Schools Slogan and giving out prizes to active pupils.  Our committee play a very important role in organising and delivering our Active Flag initiatives.

Buccaneers Rugby Club- coaches from Buccaneers and Connacht RFC visit the school for a block of time each year to teach rugby skills to one of our classes. This year our classes from 1st to 6th are taking part in these sessions and are also invited to play in regular rugby blitzes facilitate at Bucaneers Rugby pitches.

Clann na nGael GAA club: Coaches from the local club and county visit the school for blocks of 6/8  weeks at a time. All classes are given access to the coach at different times. The GAA coaches aims to support and recognise Primary Schools that provide pupils with 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous Gaelic Games activity per week in a manner that ensures the children will experience fun, friendship, fairness and ultimately improve their fitness.

Cycle Right: Roscommon Sports Partnership have worked with the school in delivering the Cycle Right Porgramme each year to our senior room pupils. This teaches the children how to cycle properly and most importantly how to cycle safely on our roads. This is an invaluable active life skill for our pupils and they look forward to this each year.

TUS Arena Athletics Programme: Our pupils from 3rd to  6th class participate in a six week programme of athletics in the state of the art indoor athletics arena in The Technical University of the Shannon, located in Athlone. The children have the opportunity to engage in dicsiplines such as sprinting, ong distance running, long jump, high jump and javelin.
