Every year, students from 5th class participate in the Junior Entrepreneur Programme (JEP). This programme provides the children with an opportunity to experience practical, real life business learning as part of their education.
As part of the programme the children design, invest in and produce their own product.
They sell their product to the school community and hold an annual 'Showcase Day'.
School Music Group
The children from 2nd class to 6th class have been busy practicing and playing beautiful tunes with Ms. Coolahan, Mr. Glavey and Ms. Walsh.
​
Our School Music Group perform at many school occasions throughout the year. For example, during school assemblies, special visits and Seachtain na Gaeilge.
​
The children play a range of instruments from the harp, tin whistle, flute, violin and even the ukulele!
Christmas Concert
Every two years, our school holds a Christmas Concert in our school hall. Parents and families are invited to watch their children perform on stage.
​
This is always a very exciting and fun evening in our school.
Marine Education
As Clarinbridge is the 'Home of the Oyster', promoting ocean awareness, knowledge and engagement is very important in our school.
​
From 2002-2006 children from our school set up their own Oyster Farm at Cave with the help of Bord Iascaigh Mhara and Clarinbridge Co Op. This was a very interesting and worthwhile project. Today, children in our school watch these videos to learn about Oysters.
​
