Active School Flag / Cluichí
Active School Flag:
The Active School Flag is a non-competitive initiative which seeks to recognise schools that provide quality PE, co-curricular physical activity and sports programmes for their students. Scoil Mhuire was awarded The Active School flag in June 2011 and continues to implement an action plan to improve PE and physical activity in the school and to create a balance between competitive and non competitive activity. Mr. Boyce is currently co-ordinating the whole school’s efforts to renew its Active School flag for 2015. A whole school marathon is being organised. Children are engaging in “Bizzy Breaks” activities on wet days. Children have logged a weekly tracking of their physical activity.
Here are some of the fun activities we complete as part of out active school flag…..
