A cycle to school morning, children and parents gather at the beach car park and we all set off to our local national school. We hope the children will use their bikes more often and be more aware of safety on the roads. Making it a fun event is beneficial to everyone involved.

We would hope to ask a local bike expert to come and speak to our pupils regarding bike safety. Pupils would then convene at the local Blueway Trail near Rathcaled in Emper and go on the Blueway as far as Abbeyshrule and back again. A picnic would be organised at a location in Abbeyshrule (playground) as a treat for all who participated. Parents would be welcome to join also.
Students from Ursuline College will embark on a 17km round trip from the school to Strandhill village, Co. Sligo breaking there for ice-cream before returning along the same route back to the school.
