Sports & the Curriculum

In Doolin NS, we aim to provide a broad and balanced physical education programme. We also aim to encourage pupil’s skills and talents in the area of sports while offering them opportunities to certain sports they may never access.

Specialist coaching is offered throughout the year as part of our in-school PE progamme including GAA, gymnastics, kung fu, basketball, spikeball, athletics and swimming.

GAA coaching is provided free of charge by our local GAA club, St. Breckans GAA.

We offer a free 6 week Gymnastics programme to all classes. This covers the Primary Curriculum objectives for this sport.

Pupils from 1st – 4th visit the University Limerick in June for a variety of activities under the Outdoors & Adventure Activities Strand. These include orienteering, kayaking, swimming, canoeing,  rafting, parachute games, astro soccer, interactive games and disco dome.  Great fun is always guaranteed!
