A huge thank you to our school community on such a successful day. The sun shone on us and the students, staff and parents completed an incredible 56km, which smashed our target of running a virtual marathon in conjunction with Cork Sports Partnership. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Here is a snapshot of the day with loads more photos to follow at the end of the week. Well done everyone. 👏

The students have had a wonderful week playing with various equipment on the yard. A huge thank you to our playground leaders and our Active Committee for organising and distributing the equipment each day. We are already excited about what next week will bring and hope the sun continues to shine for us.

The students had a wonderful morning chatting with Irish Olympian and Ireland’s Fittest Family coach Derval O’Rourke. She gave lots of advice, words of encouragement along with some great anecdotes of the trials and tribulations of life as an athlete. Thank you so much to Cork Sports Partnership for inviting us to such an enjoyable event. We look forward to taking some tips and applying them in our upcoming CrossMarathon event.

The students have been making excellent progress in our Run Round Ireland Challenge. Each class is clocking up its kms around our fabulous new walkway weekly. They are aiming to virtually run/walk to the highest peak in each province during the month of April.

Today we continued with our Drop Everything And Dance across the school. We even got to enjoy the beautiful sunshine while dancing.

Last Friday the entire school enjoyed our #FeelgoodFridays as part of our Active School Challenge. Drop Everything And Dance was a great success!
