Active School Week at NJS

27th May, 2025

Last week, NJS celebrated Active School Week, an annual national initiative that promotes physical activity and wellbeing among students. The week was packed with fun, energy, and a wonderful sense of community spirit in NJS!

Highlights included playground games led by our enthusiastic house captains, a special visit from Waterford City F.C. Women’s Team, and a walk to The People’s Park—with a surprise stop at the playground that everyone loved. Students also enjoyed athletics with Mickey, a whole-school “Rock the Boat” dance session, and a lively tug of war between 6th class and the teachers (we’ll keep quiet about who won that one!).

A huge thank you to Ms. Stapleton for her incredible work in organising such a memorable week. Great fun was had by all!
