In Hollybush we believe that a commitment to sporting excellence reflects a culture of high expectation and achievement in the school as a whole.
We aim to promote a positive attitude towards physical activity, to develop among pupils an enjoyment of physical exercise and create a link between healthy living and general fitness.
We also aim to enhance a child’s confidence and self-esteem by experiencing success in mastering a skill.
We have a structured programme of Physical Education experiences provided for our children in Hollybush as they progress through the school.
Through P1-3 we focus on fundamental movements and gymnastics to develop core physical literacy.
In years P4-7 the children receive more sport specific coaching in for example; gaelic football, hurling, athletics, cricket, judo and soccer.
In addition, Hollybush has representative teams in:
- Soccer
- Netball
- Swimming
- Gaelic Football
- Hurling
- Chess
- Cross Country
- Athletics
- Rugby
We believe children aspire to be part of these teams and this fosters an identity with the school and encourages a positive ethos in the pupils.
