The Active School Flag is an initiative of the Department of Education and Skills supported by Healthy Ireland. The Active School Flag is awarded to schools that strive to achieve a physically educated and physically active school community. Having been awarded our first Active School Flag in 2017, we are now in the renewal process which occurs every three years. We will continue with our timetabled P.E. classes, participate in Active School Week, enjoy Sports’ Day, Food Dudes, Drop Everything and Dance and the many other activities outlined in our Active School plan. Working in partnership with our parents, school community and sporting community in Ennis, we look forward to another successful Active School Flag award in 2020.
Kick, run, hurl, hop, skip, jump, and never stop!

Sport in Holy Family School
Sport plays a very important role in the daily life of Holy Family School. Pupils’ participation
in sport, with guidance from staff and coaches, is encouraged at various levels. Through participation, fun, enjoyment, winning and losing, pupils develop physically, socially and emotionally. The exposure to a wide variety of sports, proficient teaching anddevelopment of skills will assist pupils in sport throughout their lives. We follow the NCCA curriculum for Physical Education, as well as working with our local GAA coaches who come to our school to teach hurling and football skills. When our pupils move on to our Senior School in second class, they will also have the opportunity to participate in badminton, athletics, rugby, hurling and football.
