During the school year we encourage partnership with our local Tidy Towns Committee and the students take part in an annual Spring Clean of our school grounds, local area and beaches.

Furthermorem we have taster lessons from different clubs and associations throughout the year, such as Dance, Tag Rugby, GAA, Visits from the Gardaí and Search and Rescue to promote road and water safety.
