External After-School Clubs
We are very fortunate to be able to facilitate many community led after school clubs in our school. We hope that we can continue with these and many other external clubs into the future.
Our teachers also run after school clubs which are detailed each term. Below are details of the clubs that currently run in our school. Please note that these are privately run and should be contacted directly with enquiries.
Science Club
Anyone 4 Science, provides fun hands-on science engineering and maths activities in your child’s school.
Once a week our teacher meets the children from their class teacher at the end of the school day and takes them back into a classroom in the school for a science lesson involving a hands on activity.
We follow a curriculum that we have developed over many years and which we repeat on a three yearly cycle. Our lessons are age appropriate but based on topics that are usually taught at 2nd or 3rd level. We cover 2 topics per term and over each year have a range of biology, chemistry and physics.
Our teachers are all garda vetted and have science, engineering or maths qualifications.
In Citywest & Saggart CNS science takes place on a
Thursday.
Time: 1:40 pm for Junior and Senior Infants
2:40 pm for children from 1st – 6th Class
This term is 13 weeks starting on September 19th and
