Active School | Glebe National School Wicklow

Active School Committee

We were awarded our Active school flag a few years ago and have been continuing with all our active school activities throughout the year to maintain it.

The children can keep a planner of their 1 hours activity throughout the day and after a month of being active can be awarded a certificate. The children take part in many sporting activities throughout the year from cross country races in Avondale to basketball matches against local schools.

We also have active school week each May where we spend a week being active; doing everything from skipathons to dance competitions.
