PartnershipsIn Scoil Fionntáin Naofa, we are very fortunate to have a great network of local sporting groups and organisations that work with the school. As a result, our pupils receive a wide range of sporting activities during the school year. There are also many after-school activities taking place in the local area in which many of our pupils are involved.

It was a very enjoyable experience for all involved. A huge thank you must go to Bryan and Leinster Rugby for kindly supplying the school with bibs, cones, water bottles and rugby balls. It is hugely appreciated by all in Scoil Fionntáin Naofa.

The pupils from all classes engaged in a Marathon relay run. A circuit of 100m was measured out by the Active Flag Committee and marked out using boundary poles and tape. Children then ran in relay format passing the baton to the next person. The children ran 420 laps in total which is a full marathon. This took just under 3 hours and 15 minutes which is a huge achievement. The oldest and youngest pupil in the school ran the final lap which was a lovely way to finish the Marathon run. It was a very enjoyable experience. A huge thanks to Tim Carroll for supplying the boundary poles.
