An Scoilbhlian 2017-2018



The new school year got off to a very active start as we took full advantage of the good weather to launch a range of fitness activities. 

As part of National Fitness week the children ran every day. The cumulative distance ran by all classes was 977 km which is the distance from Dublin to Brussels. 


Fitness week culminated in a hotly contested game of dodge ball between the teachers and the pupils on Friday 29th September. Competition was intense and the teachers were lucky that their efforts resulted in them emerging victorious
