  • In 2017 we were very lucky to have 3 DCU students work with us as part of their final year project.  They provided teachers with activity based resources for the classroom, PE time and for active homework.  They also facilitated games and activities during Active School Week.

  • ​​This year we have been very lucky to welcome Peter Fijolek to our school.  Peter is a Sports Science student in DCU and is completing his work placement with us from March-June 2021.  He takes every class for 1 PE lesson per week and works on the Fundamental Movement Skills through lots of fun games.
