Athletics track in Claregalway! 👟👟👟

Planning permission has been officially granted for a brand-new, 8-lane athletics track and all-weather soccer pitch on the grounds of Coláiste Bhaile Chláir! Developed in partnership with Clare River Harriers Athletics Club and Cregmore/Claregalway FC, this major development will benefit students, local primary schools, and our entire community.🎽

Beyond school hours, the facilities will host club games, training, and community recreation.

This self-funded project relies on grants, fundraising, and donations. We need your help to make it a reality—whether through advocacy, volunteering, fundraising, or business sponsorship. If you or a local business would like to support or leave a lasting legacy, please reach out to any of the three organizations. 📞📩

Stay tuned for management and fundraising updates in the coming weeks. The future of sport in Baile Chláir is bright! 🏃‍♀️⚽🏃‍♂️🎉

A Celebration of Our World: Culture Club Hosts Spectacular Culture Day 🌍

Today, our school community came together for a vibrant and unforgettable Culture Day, beautifully hosted by the Culture Club. The event was dedicated to celebrating the rich tapestry of backgrounds, traditions, and countries that make our students so wonderfully unique 🙌

We were absolutely delighted to have 12 different cultures represented this year. Students and staff had the opportunity to travel the world without leaving CBC, experiencing diverse traditions through stunning traditional dress, interactive displays, music, and delicious global cuisine. It was a powerful reminder of how our differences enrich us and how much we can learn from one another. 🌍
