A Huge Thank You to Coach Seán and Klaaskickz! ⚽💙

Our morning got off to a fantastic start when Coach Seán arrived full of enthusiasm, positivity and plenty of exciting activities for everyone to enjoy. Through a variety of fun drills, skill-based challenges and team games, the pupils developed their passing, dribbling, shooting and teamwork skills in a lively and engaging way.

The children thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the session and loved learning new skills while having fun together.

A sincere thank you to Coach Seán for his encouragement, energy and dedication throughout the day. You have inspired our pupils to stay active, continue practising, and most importantly, enjoy every moment of sport! ⚽👏

As part of Wellbeing Week in our school, we would like to sincerely thank Rosemary Duffy from Mayo Mental Health Association for delivering the fantastic Hi Five workshop with our pupils from 3rd to 6th class, promoting positive mental health and wellbeing.

We also enjoyed a whole-school Walk and Talk activity, giving everyone a chance to connect, chat and get moving together.

A wonderful week focused on wellbeing for all in our school community!
