💫 Clontuskert NS is proud to announce that we have achieved our first Active Schools Flag
💫 Congratulations to Mrs. Feehily and the Active School Student Leadership Team who worked so hard over two years to achieve this award
The two year project culminated in an inspection with David Costello from Active Schools who inspected our work and application. The Active Schools Committee showed him around the school and demonstrated their love of sport and activity.
They had prepared posters to show him all of their work to go with a folder documenting the school’s journey.
💫 Clontuskert- A School where Learning Comes Alive!
We play Spikeball (Volleyball) and in the last seven years we have been All Ireland Finalists in the sport winning three silver medals and one gold.
Click above to listen to the report on Galway Bay FM about the All Ireland gold medal win. We love hurling, Gaelic Football, Handball, Soccer, Basketball, Rugby and every year we go swimming in Ballinasloe!
Phew! Hectic! Rugby
