Physical activity is a big part of life in St. Clare’s. The pupils throughout the school get opportunities to take part in a wide variety of sporting activities, both competitive and non-competitive.
We promote a healthy lifestyle in all areas of physical activity, healthy eating, mental health, and wellbeing

We received our first Active school flag in 2013  

our second flag  in 2017 

and our 3rd flag in June 2021.

We are very grateful to all the pupils, parents, staff and local sporting community who worked so hard and supported us in achieving this.
This flag is awarded to schools that strive to achieve a physically educated and physically active school community.

There was great excitement in school on Thursday last as county manager Mickey Graham raised our 3rd Active Schools Flag. Aine O Reilly, Cavan Sports Partnership, along with country footballers, Nessa, Kate and Caoimhin  joined in the celebrations. A big well done to all our wonderful pupils who help to keep our school so active.


We have been awarded The Daily Mile Flag in appreciation of our school’s commitment to The Daily Mile initiative. There was great excitement in school as we raised the flag. ACTIVE KIDS LEARN BETTER!

For health benefits, children aged 5-12 years should accumulate at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity every day.
























Very well done to our Active Schools Committee who launched some of our Active Schools plans at a recent assembly.

SUPER TROOPERS




At our recent Active Schools Committee meeting we decided to introduce Super Troopers to St Clares. The committee has been busy distributing information to class teachers which includes teacher's guides, childrens  journals and family wall charts.
We are starting Super Troopers this Monday 21/11/16

Super Troopers is aimed at helping children become more active and learn about healthy lifestyles.
Did you know that only one in five children currently meet the World Health Organisation (WHO)  recommended daily guidelines of 60 minutes of activity per day?


All children  will receive a Super Trooper’s Activity Journal  on Monday which includes short activities to do each night as part of their homework. Children can complete these fun activities alone or get their family & friends involved.
 So come on everyone let's get moving!
