Scoot to School Week 2024

We made the most of our beautiful location and our scooting sessions were all based in the Phoenix Park. We were really lucky to get a run of dry weather but it wouldn’t have dampened our spirits anyway!

Active Week 2024

Active Week was packed with an array of different activities from Twirl to cricket, dance parties to obstacle courses and outdoor games! We kept busy and active and we didn’t stop moving! It was fantastic.

Table Tennis Take Over 2023

In September, we enjoyed ‘Table Tennis Takeover’ time!

Upcoming Active Event…. Active Halloween!

Active Schools 2022/23

In November our Active School Committee was established.

Our active school flag committee’s first role was to run a slogan competition. The winning slogan was;

“We’re sporty, we’re cool. We’re Mount Sackville school”

The girls dusted off their skipping ropes on January 27th to take part in a whole school challenge. They even did jumping jacks too reaching all sorts of peaks including Ben Nevis!

Ms Donohoe organised a Pump Up The Volume dance challenge for the school on February 24th. Everyone had a blast and danced their socks off!
