Our school places huge emphasis on physical activity in school and at home. All classes receive a minimum of 60 minutes of formal PE lessons each week. All classes are taught the strands of Athletics, Dance, Gymnastics, Games and Outdoor & Adventure each year. Pupils from 2nd class upwards also take part in Aquatics, and have swimming lessons in Athlone Regional Sports Centre.
Physical activity is important not only during P.E. class but throughout the school day. Here at St. Brigids we have a number of initiatives in place to ensure we are active for as long as possible throughout the day.
