Our P.E. classes are made up of the six strands of the P.E. curriculum and throughout the year we take part in games, athletics, gymnastics, dance, outdoor and andventure activities and aquatics.  We think P.E. is a very important subject and we follow a school P.E. policy and timetable for teaching the various strands.  Our teachers have dedicated an area in the staff room for P.E. teaching resources to make our lessons fun and interesting.  They are always sharing different P.E. ideas and activities with each other and they have completed courses on P.E. to make our lessons more fun and interesting.  Some of our teachers are also members of the Irish Primary P.E. Association.  In 2019, our school built on a P.E. hall.  This has been hugely beneficial in keeping us all active.  We can have regular P.E., no matter what the weather is like and we can also keep active during wet breaks.  We are very thankful to the whole community for their continuous support of our hall fundraising efforts.   

Every year, all classes from Junior Infants to Sixth Class take part in six weeks of swimming lessons at a local pool.  As well as taking part in swimming lessons we learn all about water safety before we go to the pool.  Through the Land Paws programme from the Irish Water Safety Association we learned about water safety in the pool, in the home, on a boat, on the beach, on the farm and on the waterways.  We also learned what to do if we saw somebody get into difficulty in the water.
