Awards, Activities and Achievements:

We have participated in Health Promoting initiatives and received awards in these areas.

We provide a rich variety of extra curricular activities after school including, drama, computers, sport and academic tuition.

What you hope this project will help you and your school accomplish?
It is important to all of us in Cornagague Primary School that each child is happy, secure and has a positive attitude to learning. We therefore hope our children have fun taking part in this project. We hope they will participate in work shops, educational trips and develop their ICT skills in the production of a project website.

Cornagague aims to emphasise the successful development of the whole individual in all areas of achievement including creative, musical, sporting and practical activities. We believe there are important aspects of learning that are constantly reinforced through projects such as this one ie independence, collaboration, the ability to relate to others in a social context, self-confidence and having a different audience to express ideas and opinions. Through the Cavan - Fermanagh project we hope to enhance further these skills and personal qualities within our children.
