SPORT
Participation in PE and Games is central to the School’s philosophy of “a healthy mind in a healthy body”. An extensive sports programme is offered complemented by our magnificent new facilities including an indoor sports hall, 25m indoor pool, playing fields and Astroturf.
A wide ranging programme of rugby, hockey, cricket, soccer, gaelic football, hurling, tennis, rounders, athletics and basketball is available. The PE curriculum incorporates outdoor pursuits, including orienteering, and health-related fitness from a young age.
Provision of all curricular and extra-curricular sports programmes is coordinated by the Director of Sport, assisted by the Head of Girls’ Games, who organise an extensive list of fixtures to afford all pupils the opportunity to represent the School before they leave Castle Park. |
