School Activities

Yellow Flag

This school year, our school has been invited to take part in the prestigious Yellow Flag award. Our school is the only primary school in Cork to take part in this programme this year. We are very excited. See more here.

Sports, athletics and Camogie

Every year we send a team to the City Sports. This year we received very specialised training with the support of Cork City Partnership to help fine tune the skills of our wonderful athletes.

All pupils from 2nd to 6th are given the opportunity to take part in 6 sessions of swimming at Mayfield Swimming pool every year.

We have brand new jerseys and have serious talent in the school so Sciath na Scol, watch this space.

Northside Swim Gala- We hope to see the return of the Gala this year.

The school choir is open to all pupils from 3^rd -6^th Classes. Choir Practice takes place in the school Halla every Thursday at lunchtime after Hallowe’en up to Christmas.

The whole school puts on two extra special performances during the year with a celebration at Christmas and the beloved ‘Seó ‘le Pádraig’. See the calendar for upcoming events.

Green Schools Committee

Our Green Schools Committee do a lot of work to keep our school clean and tidy.

We put on competitions and events to get everyone aware of recycling and keeping the school and local environment clean. One girl came up with a very good slogan in sixth class ‘Live Green, Live Better, One Planet, One Chance’ and now that is our Green School’s motto.

Recently, our school got our third green flag.
