At Glenasmole National School, we believe that learning extends far beyond the classroom. Our students enjoy a rich and diverse programme of extra-curricular and co-curricular activities, carefully designed to develop skills, confidence, teamwork, and a lifelong love of learning.

Sports and Physical Education
Our school offers exceptional sporting opportunities throughout the year, including hurling, Gaelic football, athletics, basketball, tag rugby, cricket, swimming, and martial arts. We are proud to work with highly experienced external coaches and experts, including:

  • GAA training with Adam from St. Anne’s 

  • Cricket coaching with Mitchell from Cricket Ireland

  • Tag rugby sessions with Glenn from Leinster Rugby

These expert-led sessions give our students the chance to train, compete, and excel under professional guidance, helping them develop technique, teamwork, and resilience.

Creative and Educational Activities
Our students participate in a wide variety of creative and educational activities, including drama workshops with Freshly Ground Theatre, a local professional theatre collective, and music lessons with Nicola from Music Generation, where students learn instruments such as the ukulele and keyboard. They also take part in gardening and educational outings. Each activity is carefully designed to nurture curiosity, creativity, and practical skills, enriching the learning experience and helping students develop confidence and collaboration.

Co-Curricular Trips and Visits
We enrich learning through hands-on, real-world experiences, scheduled monthly or termly to align with classroom topics. Students might meet a scientist when exploring space or visit a farm while learning about animals, ensuring that their learning is tangible, engaging, and unforgettable.

At Glenasmole National School, we are committed to offering an education that inspires, challenges, and supports every child, helping them to thrive academically, physically, and creatively.

Our extensive commitment to sports, activities, and real-world experiences makes us a school where children love to learn, explore, and achieve their very best.
