Encouraging Students to Get Involved


At Coláiste Chiaráin we encourage our students to get involved in a variety of sporting and extra curricular pursuits to complement their academic studies. Such activities are very important in promoting well-being and in fostering friendships across year groups. Junior students will get an opportunity to sign up to these during a 'Club & Societies Sign up Day' in August. The image above shows a typical calendar from last year.

At Coláiste Chiaráin we offer the following sports, physical activities and other clubs:

  • Athletics
  • Basketball
  • Coding & Computers
  • Chess/Games
  • Choir
  • Creative Arts
  • Debating
  • Gaelic Football
  • Golf
  • Green Schools
  • Lego Club
  • Library & Reading
  • Podcasting
  • Public Speaking
  • Rugby
  • Soccer
  • Swimming
  • Table Tennis
  • Volleyball
  • Young Scientist
  • School trips

Separate to our school uniform, students (if they wish) can purchase equipment from our online school shop when participating in extra curricular sports - such as training tops, socks, shorts, bootbags, rucksacks by clicking this link https://kcsports.ie/collections/colaiste-chiarain-athlone
