St Clare's Active School

 As part of our MASSIVE fundraising drive to provide better playing facilities for our pupils, the Active School Committee have been driving forward the Aldi Rugby Promotion. With every poster we fill, we are in with a chance of winning a HUGE €50,000 for our school.  We are now on poster no.5! So thank you to all the parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles who have supported the school by sending in their stickers.  The promotion continues until April, so plenty more time to fill more posters to be in with an even greater chance!

After School Fun Fitness is back! The girls in 2nd class were back in action yesterday with the resumption of Fun Fitness.  Mr Mc Govern put the girls through their paces, with lots of exercises and stretches, all while having fun with their friends. We had a few reports of aching legs and tums this morning but after 6 weeks of practice these girls will be super fit!

Time for a Spring Clean! The Active School Committee were in action again today, searching the corridors and cloakrooms, for any stray P.E. equipment. Look at all we found!

 We are delighted to see great progress with our new school building. We are especially delighted to see our flag poles reinstated allowing us to proudly fly the flags, we as a school community have worked so hard to achieve. On Tuesday 20th December The Active School committee invited in members of the All Ireland Winning St Clare's adult rounders team. We are so proud of these fantastic sportswomen who amongst their members are past pupils, staff members and parents. They showed us their magnificent cup and medals and spoke to us about the importance of keeping active and how rewarding it is to be part of a team. Then along with our principal and vice principal, ably assisted by Liam our caretaker, they raised our Active school and Green Schools flags high into the air for all to see.  To finish up the Active school committee led all 500+ students in some seasonal exercises. Great fun was had by all and everyday as we walk to school our flags remind us of the tremendous achieveme

  3rd Class had a visit from Christine, a Community Garda. She talked about how to stay safe when out walking and cycling.

 Afterschool Basketball, for 5th and 6th class, is back up and running in St Clare's, every Tuesday. 

There are so many teaching, learning and wellbeing benefits to an ENERGISED school day.  From Juniors to Seniors, the St Clare's pupils have accepted the challenge and have been keeping active everyday. @activeflag #activebreakeveryday.
