As part of the P.E. curriculum, Junior Infants to 2nd class will take part in Dance lessons for the next number of weeks. We are so lucky here in St. Gabriel’s to have dance teacher Bernie O’Rourke work with our students.

Her modules develop dance, fitness and artistic development in the boys and girls. Dance lessons will run from Thursday 4th of March. All children are asked to wear their school tracksuit and runners to participate.
