School Garden
Our school garden has been completed. The concept behind the outdoor space was to create a sensory garden, an outdoor learning area, a playing pitch and a planting area for each class to grow their own plants, fruits and vegetables.
This space gives children an opportunity to learn outside, experience with their senses and observe nature.
The local G.A.A. club very generously permit the school to use their facilities, free of charge throughout the school day. This gives us access to two full size playing pitches, an astro turf pitch, basketball court, tennis court, community playground and running track.
