Knockskeagh Olympic Games 2024

Our Active Team launched the Knockskeagh Olympic Games by visiting all classes during the week. They spoke about the Knockskeagh NS Olympic values of respect, fair play, joy of effort, and pursuit of excellence which were inspired by the Dare to Believe Programme.

Each class will be divided into teams over the next few weeks and they will take part in different events related to our focus strand Atlethics. Each pupil will be awarded points for their team depending on their placing in each event. The culmination of our games this year will be our Sports Day on Tuesday June 11th.

Let the games begin!!
