Macosquin Primary School

Extra Curricular

Extra curricular activities play an important role in the life of the school.

"The children’s learning experiences are enhanced through participation in competitions and sporting events in which they regularly achieve success. The children benefit from their involvement in a Comenius Project with other schools across Europe. They experience a wide range of educational visits to local sites of interest, some of which are joint visits with children from other schools, and they enjoy annual residential visits within the UK and Europe. The children have extensive opportunities to develop their interest in music through membership of the school’s choirs and orchestra which are actively involved in the local community. The staff give generously of their time to extend the children’s experience through this broad range of school activities."
