Off to the GAA field for training!

Partnerships with local clubs and friends from further afield have been instrumental in helping us to enhance and develop our physical education and physical activity provision. We liaise each year with the following clubs and organisations:

• Pallasgreen Juenile GAA club
• Limerick Bord na nOg provision of GDA to schools
• Cumann na mBunscol competitions and programmes such as Play GAA in May

Our local GDA Callan Ensor training the children with the help of past pupils who are currently in Transition Year and both of whom play with our local GAA and LGFA teams. This has been happening on Tuesdays during the second term. The children develop their fundamental movement skills and then work on their hurling and football specific skills.

• Limerick Sports Partnership supports our school in a huge array of initiatives and training such as: Fundamental Movement Programme, Sports Hall Athletics, CPD for staff, teaching resources such as Fundamental Movement programme booklets focussing on running, jumping and throwing, Sportshall Athletics programme (training and equipment) supporting fundamental movement skills, Basketball training in association with Basketball Ireland, FitKidz Walking Programme

• Sean Treacy Sports Complex Swimming Pool, Tipperary Town
• Irish Orienteering Association – following completion of a training course with the Orienteering Association, the OAI provided our school with an excellent set of orienteering maps of our school.
• Pat O’ Dea – dance teacher.
