Partnerships
The development of Scoil Oilibhéir Naofa as an Active School is made possible as a result of parents, pupils, teachers, and the local community working together as partners.

It has also drawn on the resources of the Irish Heart Foundation for its ‘Busy Breaks’, 'Homework Diaries' and 'Action for Life' Lesson Plans.
The Local Sports Partnership and HSE Health Promotion Officer have been informed that Scoil Oilibhéir Naofa is engaged in the Active Flag process.

Sports Day 2018
Once again, Scoil Oilibhéir Naofa had a very enjoyable, successful sports day.
Every year Our Sports Day illustrates the importance of Partnership in promoting and maintaining an active school.
The success is due to the contribution and co-operation of a large number of people. Two different venues are used –the school grounds and the local GAA pitch.
This year, pupils participated in a wide range of activities facilitated by parents, a number of chosen past pupils, our Dance Teacher (Rita Doyle), Playball coaches, Meath GAA, a Frisbee coach and staff members.
All pupils took part in races- regular and novelty (egg & spoon, sack, three-legged, hopper, hurdle and relay).
The Senior pupils spent the day in the local GAA pitch. They got the opportunity to participate in different races as well as rounders, Frisbee, GAA coaching, high jump, ball throwing, an obstacle course and tug – o- war.
At the school, Junior pupils enjoyed Playball, an obstacle course, parachute games, dance, hoola hoops, musical statues, tag games, scoopers and the playscape area.
Working together as Partners creates a very positive atmosphere within our school and ensures the success of any project or initiative that is embarked upon.
