A Sports Day with a difference

For too long we have listened to the stories of children who came home from sports day in tears as they hadn't won a medal. 

 Having participated in the National Children's Sport Festival we adapted their philosophy of giving sports back to children 

and for the last few years have implemented a highly successful and enjoyable "Sports For All Day."  All members of staff and

 pupils as well as many parents and sports coaches are involved.

The pupils engage in ten of the twenty different sports throughout the day.  These activities range from orienteering, camogie, 

hurdles to sports art to bean bag activities.

Our sports day took place on Thursday 19th June, luckily the weather obliged! We had some very special visitors. Some of the 

Croatian delegation to the Special Olympics joined us and took part is some of the events.  We were delighted to see them.

Many many thanks to all those who helped make the day a success.
