We are proud to be part of the National Children’s Choir, Green Schools, Active Schools, Amber Flag and the Primary Science initiatives, to name but a few. All these activities allow the children in our school to enjoy a wide and varied education with lots of opportunities to shine in different areas.

This school now has high speed broadband connectivity through the Department of Education School Broadband Programme, delivered as part of the Irish National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) under the Recovery and Resilience Facility funded by the European Union through NextGenerationEU.

This school received a grant in 2021 to implement initiatives aimed at addressing the digital divide and support our learners at risk of educational disadvantage as a consequence, as part of the Irish National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) a project under the Recovery and Resilience Facility funded by the European Union through NextGenerationEU. This funding was used to diversify and modernise the school’s IT equipment, enhance access to digital technology for our pupils and embed digital learning as part of the curriculum.
