Nagle Rice is committed to promoting Physical Education for all its pupils
At Nagle Rice National School we are commited to providing our pupils the opportunity to partake in several different sports to help develop the child’s mental, physical, and emotional development. Physical education plays a critical role in all three areas, helping to make young people healthier, teaching them self-discipline and teamwork skills, developing leadership potential, and introducing them to activities that they might enjoy and also derive a lifetime of health benefits.
The sports the school offers its pupils are as follows:
Football
Swimming
Basketball
Athletics
Children also partake in playground games, walks within the locality and enjoy many other sports and activities at the discretion of the class teacher.
Our annual sports days is a light-hearted and informal occasion. Typically we run activities such as the egg and spoon race and the sack race where we emphasize the element of fun for pupils. Other events include the three legged race, running and crawling races.
The boys and girls in the Senior School are welcome to join the School Football Team. There are many competitions which the children are invited to compete in. Given this we were very happy when Milltown Credit Union sponsored and presented us with new school jerseys last year. A big thank you to Mary O’Shea for her support.
