Scoil Naomh Mhuire was awarded the Active School Flag in June 2019 and we renewed our Active School Flag in June 2024.
The Active School Flag was launched by the Department of Education in 2009. It is an initiative which seeks to recognise schools (both primary and post-primary) that strive to achieve a physically active and physically educated school community.
The initiative encourages schools to commit to a process of self-evaluation in terms of the PE programmes and physical opportunities that they offer. It also encourages the planning and implementing of a series of changes that will enhance PE and extracurricular provision and promote physical activity.
#RelaysTakeOver Initiative
We're thrilled to share that our school participated in the #RelaysTakeOver initiative during European Sports Week 2024! Our talented pupils joined in the fun and excitement of this event, showcasing their athleticism and teamwork. Our students gave it their all, demonstrating dedication, sportsmanship, and a love for physical activity.
