Rang a 2 completed the Active Break Every Day Challenge. Maith sibh rang a 2!

The riddles that have been placed on our school’s Active Walkway are a fun way to turn on the thinking caps!

Our school’s active walkway is a fantastic resource. The boys really enjoyed solving the word puzzles.

The whole school are really enjoying the active breaks challenge. Every day we are being active and doing the Croke Park movement break videos.

Rang a 3 enjoyed practicing balancing in pairs this week.

Our Active School Flag committee are the school's playground leaders every Wednesday. They are in charge of checking everyone is following the yard rules and running our active lines.

This week the boys enjoyed using the Active School Walkway. At each of the 14 stations around the school grounds there was a Dingbats puzzle to solve. The winner was the pair that solved the most correctly. It was a fun activity and got everyone moving! The boys are looking forward to doing it again soon.

The active commitee were busy this month promoting our Active Advent calendar. They went around to each class in the school to announce and demonstrate the active movement for the day. It was a great success.

There was a fantastic turn out, on 15th October, at our weekly WOW ( Walk on Wednesday ) from Cuala for National Walk to School Week. Well done boys!

The boys are enjoying using our schools’ new skipping ropes. Each week they are getting better and better!

We have started playing hockey this year. Our coach Ben from Avoca hockey club taught us lots of new skills and we really enjoyed playing a new sport.

Many thanks to the boys in Rang a Sé for creating such a fun obstacle course for all the other classes to try.

Well done to all the boys who participated in Walk to School Week 2025! The boys ditched their cars this week and opted to walk, cycle, scoot or park-and-stride to make the most of the dry Autumn weather and help the environment while they were at it. Our Green Schools committee kept a record of the boys who walked each day and compiled our data in a colourful bar chart. Maith sibh a bhuachaillí!

The active committee ran a whole school competition for our new Active Flag slogan for 2025/2026. Each class had 3 winners. The committee then voted on the slogan 'We were made in 1901 to be active, sporty and have lots of fun' as the overall winner. We are very happy with our new Active Flag slogan for the year. Go raibh maith agaibh gach duine.

In September 6th class ran an obstacle course for the whole school. The boys really enjoyed it. Maith sibh rang a 6!
