What club are you in survey!

​In order to strengthen our community partnerships and to gauge the physical activity levels of our boys, we as an Active School Flag Team conducted a remote survey through google forms. This survey gathered information about what clubs the boys are part of in our community, their knowledge of clubs that are available to them and also how long they are physically active for each day. We received a strong response to our survey with 61 pupils engaging! Please see the results of our survey attached! A massive thank you to all of our boys for taking part!

If you wish to take part in the survey and have not yet responded through Seesaw, please follow the link attached!

Arravale Rovers GAA

Arravale Rovers GAA are proud partners of St Michael's Junior Boys School. We have provided Arravale with many past, current and future players and supporters and they in turn have been extremely generous and supportive of our school and our philosophy of being physically active from an early age. Arravale in conjunction with Tipperary GAA provide us with access to a specialist coach once a week who places a focus on fundamental movement skills, games specific skills and general physical literacy. The boys love working with Richie every Wednesday! Arravale Rovers also provided all of our Junior Infants of 2019 with a hurley which was greatly appreciated!
