Cycle Safety Training Course

Our school is staging a course in cycling safety training run by “Wheelie Good Academy”.  The course is aligned to CYCLE RIGHT, the National Standard for Cycle Safety Training in Ireland, and is delivered by qualified trainers from the national register.

Visit www.cycleright.ie to find a range of resources and films to support the participant in cycling when CYCLE RIGHT training is completed.

Swimming

Swimming is an important part of the primary school curriculum and the learning objectives can be found within the Aquatics strand of the Physical Education (P.E.) curriculum.

3rd, 4th & 5th class take part in lessons each year in Tralee Sports Complex.

The strand units of the Aquatics curriculum include:

• Hygiene

• Water safety

• Entry to and exit from the water

• Buoyancy and propulsion

• Stroke development

• Water-based ball games

• Understanding and appreciation of aquatics

The aquatics curriculum recognises that there is more to swimming than learning to swim strokes and competing in swimming competitions. The emphasis is on acquiring a set of fundamental skills, attitudes and understanding before becoming competent in traditional strokes.
