Extra-Curricular Programme

Extra-curricular activities, sports and a dedicated Health & Fitness Programme, giving every student the space to grow beyond the classroom.

At The Institute of Education students in our full-time school have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of extra-curricular activities and lunch time clubs. This provides students with a welcome break from study and is essential in developing self-confidence, responsibility and initiative.

Students can also participate in fundraising activities and are encouraged to enter competitions such as BT Young Scientist and Sci-Fest. All extra-curricular activities take place after school or during lunchtime.

Health & Fitness Programme

Run by Irish International Athlete Brian Gregan, the Institute’s Health & Fitness Programme helps all students maintain good health and nutrition habits and develop a balanced and focused approach to their studies.

Students can take part in a range of sporting activities throughout the year, such as athletics, badminton, circuit training, football, table tennis and hockey.

The programme also includes weekly talks and workshops on health & nutrition, stress, anxiety, coping skills, goal setting and more.
