Activities

Sport

As an active school sport is very important to us.

We attend swimming lessons in Mallow Swimming Pool in the first term. 

All classes are involved in football and hurling and a local trainer comes to train the younger classes. GAA training is held after school for the senior classes.

The senior classes attend spike ball competitions and play tag rugby.

Pupils also participate in gymnastics, athletics, dance and Kangoo Jumps during the year. 

We also part take in Cork City Sports each year.
