Health promoting School

Goleen N.S is proud to be a health promoting school, where children are encouraged to make wise choices about, food, drinks and exercise.  Children are required to bring healthy lunches to school.  We encourage children to eat good food such as fruit, vegetables, sandwiches, yogurts, cheese, meat, etc.  Pupils are discouraged from bringing fizzy drinks, crisps, chocolate, sweets etc. to school. Lollipops and chewing gum are not allowed in school.  All children are encouraged to join in games and playground activities. Goleen N.S. is part of The Daily Mile initiative, where children aim to jog or run a mile each school day. Find us on the map at: https://thedailymile.ie/

Schedule for Catholic Schools

A Roman Catholic school (which is established in connection with the Minister) aims at promoting the full and harmonious development of all aspects of the person of the pupil: intellectual, physical, cultural, moral and spiritual, including a living relationship with God and with other people. The school models and promotes a philosophy of life inspired by belief in God and in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
