Boys become involved in a wide range of activities such as art & crafts, drama & music, sand & water and numeracy & literacy. The boys enjoy a colourful range of indoor and outdoor activities.We are regularly out and about and can be seen exploring various places like the People’s Park, City Library, Santa Express in Kilmeaden and the Geo Park.
