Are you looking for ways to enhance your child’s education and development? Consider signing them up for Lunctime Extra-curricular activities here in Scoil Uí Mhuirí.
Extra-curricular activities have numerous benefits for students, including, but not limited to:
- Improving academic performance: Studies have shown that students who participate in extra-curricular activities tend to have higher grades and test scores than those who do not.

- Promoting physical health: Many extra-curricular activities, such as sports and dance, encourage physical activity and can help students maintain a healthy lifestyle.
