Scoil Naomh Padraig Measc
All our classrooms now have SMART boards. We have also recently invested in 30 iPads, 30 Chromebooks and their respective charging trolleys. We are digitally on track! Smart Technologies UK visited Caherleaheen NS to observe, interview and film us while in class. Go to the Read More tab below to view their short film.
Yes, competitive team sports are important in Caherleaheen, be they football, hurling, athletics or tag rugby. However, we punctuate our school days, every day, with PE, fundamental movement skill drills, breaks, stretch downs and jogging. It helps all our children to stay healthy and active. Our homework is active too, on Wednesdays. ‘Books away and families play’ learning new skills together! Our healthy food policy is important and our families are fully behind the school as we strive together in partnership to move well and eat well for the health of all, young and old.
Our school environment and the greater Tralee and Kerry area is such a rich source for learning and group activities outdoors. We truly value the beauty of living nature all around us and we capitalise on it throughout the school year, ‘whether the weather’ is on our side or not! Gardening, walks, hikes, class tours, maths, science, art, outings and cultural excursions. It’s a beautiful world for our pupils and staff. We have earned 5 Green flags and 8 Primary Science Awards in STEM in recent years. Onwards, upwards and outdoors, we say!
