Arts Education; Art Music and Drama
We enjoy all aspects of the Arts Curriculum. We love to show our creativity through art and often enter local and national art competitions. Music is enjoyed throughout the school and we put on Open Mic performances. Pupils learn the tin whistle and are encouraged to bring in other instruments and play with the school band. Our school band plays in the annual Headford St. Patrick's Day Parade. Pupils sing in the school choir and participate in church cermonies in St. Mary's Church, Claran. In December 2013, we were invited to sing in the Cathedral in Tuam and it was a great honour to do so. Each year the school puts on a Christmas concert for family and friends. In recent years the senior classes have performed musicals. Uaireannta déanann muid drámaí san Earrach le haghaidh Féile na Gaillimhe. Tá craobh na hÉireann buaite againn cúpla uair.
