Pupils engage in a range of extracurricular activities, including hurling, camogie, football, soccer, swimming lessons at the University of Limerick pool, and participation in national competitions such as Cumann na mBunscol.

The school places a high priority on community involvement and environmental stewardship. Initiatives such as plastic‑bottle recycling, shoebox collections for the Team Hope Christmas Appeal and regular visits from the local fire brigade demonstrate a commitment to social responsibility. Communication with families is facilitated through ClassDojo, ensuring that parents stay informed about classroom activities and school events. Facilities include well‑equipped classrooms, access to nearby sports centres, and a safe, supportive environment that encourages personal growth and academic achievement.
