Our Partnerships

Homework Club

Our Very Active Homework Club!

Not only do the boys get help and support when completing their homework each evening, but every pupil who signs up to homework club, receive a hot cooked meal and access to the junior yard and indoor hall each evening for games, challenges, group walks and sports.

The pupils and Homework Club staff often don their high visibility vests and go for an invigorating walk in the surrounding area.

GAA

We are very fortunate that we get to develop our skills in Gaelic Football with Alan. We are making great progress. Alan encourages all students to get involved with the local G.A.A clubs.

Our School Football Team:

Our school football team plays in the Westmeath Cumann na mBunscol competition each winter. We play in 11 aside games. Training sessions take place after school on the green in the Battery Heights or in St. Peter's Astro Turf.

Rugby

Each year we develop our skills in Rugby with Charlie. We are making great progress. Charlie encourages all students to get involved with the local Rugby club Buccaneers RFC.

We are very grateful to the Rugby club for their in school coaching, all the boys have been enjoying the lessons, learning handling skills, running skills, tag tackling skills and footwork. It has been great to see all the boys make great progress.

Soccer

We also enjoy soccer lessons with Noel. Many of our pupils are members of local Soccer teams which are linked here.

We also play an in-school tournament throughout the year, whereby pupils from every class are picked on 5 aside teams to compete in two grades; Senior Gym and Junior Gym. In this highly contested tournament, pupils get to hone their skills while playing with boys from different classes all with rewards at the end of the year on Sports Day. All are welcome to join. The tournament takes place after school with pupils walking from the school to St. Peter's Astro Turf. We really get our steps in! We are very grateful to St. Peter's for the use of their Astro Turf for many school events during the year.

From Spring to Summer the school also competes in the SPAR FAI Primary Schools 5s Programme having even reached the National Finals representing Leinster in 2016
