Courtown After School Club
The after school group is open to 5th and 6th class students attending the local National school and runs from 3.15 to 4.15pm every Thursday at No.6 Ocean Point, Courtown Harbour. It is a great opportunity for the students to interact with their peers outside of the school setting in a fun, safe, interactive environment. It encourages voluntary participation through a programme based on informal education, life skills, building confidence and resilience and developing social skills. Weekly activities vary depending on the time of the year, but members will have the opportunity to engage in activities relating to sports, outdoor/recreational, cookery, arts & crafts and community engagement (availing of all that Courtown Harbour has to offer; woodlands, beaches , tidy towns, seal sanctuary and BMX club, to name but a few).
