Infant Club:
Every day we run the Ballymitty Infant Club for any pupils in Junior and Senior Infants who wish to stay in school until 3pm. This is run by two childcare workers. It costs €5 per day. It runs from 2pm – 3pm. Pupils usually play in the GP room or outside areas and have lots of fun! This club is very convenient for the parents who have other children in other classes.
Chess Club
This runs on Tuesdays at lunchtime for pupils who play chess. The younger, less experienced pupils are taught by the senior pupils. In 2022/2023 we took part in our first Ficheall tournament. We do this every year now! Chess Club runs after Halloween Midterm break up to February Midterm Break.
Lego Club
This runs on Thursday after Halloween Midterm Break until February Midterm Break. We got a STEM grant in 2023/2024 so we were able to purchase sets of Lego. In addition to fostering creativity, the LEGO club also helps develop problem-solving skills. Through challenges and projects, pupils are encouraged to think critically and come up with solutions to various obstacles they may encounter during LEGO play.
Quiz Club
In December and January we do quiz club on Wednesdays. This is in preparation for some inter-school quiz competitions that come up each year. We have pupils from 4th - 6th class doing quiz club every Wednesday from 1.30pm - 2.15pm and this prepares them for the Credit Union quizzes that happen in the new year.
