There is a very positive benfit resulting from this situtation as students see sport as part of their overall lifestyle raher than just a subject on the school programme . At the Community College there are three highly trained instructors in the area of Physical Education whose commitment has brought many successes over recent years including All-Ireland team performances in Gaelic Football, Handball and Cross Country. A notable feature of the College is the participation of a significant number of teachers in other subject areas who give their lunch breaks to ensure an even greater variety of sports. Sports Day held in May is noted for the high participation of girls in all track and field activities. Girls also study gymnastics as part of their Physical Education class.
Swimming is also encouraged and classes are arranged for as many groups as possible.
A greater number of adult women in the wider community realise the benefit of sport to their health and general well being. In good time for their future years.
