As an Active School, we were delighted to take part in Ireland’s National Fitness Day on September 16th.

All students took part in a skipping competition to see which of Europe’s highest peaks we could climb (1 skip = 1 metre). 1st and 2nd class climbed Ta’Zuta, Malta’s highest point. 3rd and 4th climbed our own Carrauntoohil and 5th and 6th climbed Great Britain’s highest point, Ben Nevis.

We also had some teachers v students competitions. We kicked off with a basketball hoop throwing competition. The teacher’s just shaded this one!! The students got their revenge by defeating the teachers in a penalty shoot-out! Thanks to Mrs. Bennett, Mr. Donohue and Mr. Farrell for being such great sports! Well done to all our students who really got involved especially Conor and Leo who proved to be exceptional shot stoppers! Tremendous fun was had by all!
