The Student Voice

“I really like this school because loads of my friends go here and everyone is really friendly. In some schools you have to sit in your chair all day and lunch is the only time you get to play but in our class we have movement breaks and meditation which helps me concentrate and we do lots of different subjects. I also really enjoy our outdoor activities like soccer, rugby, GAA, badminton and swimming was great. I remember in Junior Infants we were in groups and when we were really good we got to go to the ballpit to play and it was amazing. ”

“I like that not everything comes on a sheet or a book there is a lot of things you can learn visually and physically. We had to build bridges with coins and books in science, we used a rope to measure bins in Maths. We do lots of things like that. We did Get Up Stand Up where we learned about secondary school and we learned how to make friends in a new environment. I love that we can walk to the library every few weeks and pick out a book. Everyone loves being silly with Sir but we are not always silly, its usually serious. I remember on my first day in Junior Infants playing in the sandpit with a classmate I didn’t know and discussing what junior Infants would be like, we are still friends.  ”
