Sports Programme

A structured comprehensive sports programme is available and all girls are encourage to take part in at least one of the timetabled sports available after school. We understand all girls to be different with a variety of capabilities and interests which is why our sports programme is extensive.

Here is an example of a timetable for our Sports Programme:

The program is designed to allow time for each girl to partake in as many sporting activities as she wishes.

Creative Programme

This is run usually on weekends and is driven essentially by the interests of the girls each year. A sample of activities include pottery, fashion design/tailoring, weaving, driving lessons, dancing and many more. We try to provide a variety so that all girls find something that interests them. This programme provides the girls with hours of fun and is an extension of their holistic education.

Music Program

There has always been a huge enthusiasm for music at Colásite Ide and as with our other programs the choice is extensive.

Weekend excursions

Excursions to local attractions are organised at certain times. Where possible we use local native-Irish speakers to guide any local tours. Other leisure activities include Irish drama, debates, pottery, Egyptian dancing, reading, music, table quizzes and board games. Students can also enjoy the spectacular beauty of the environment in the many walks around the spacious grounds.

Transition year

While we do not offer a transition year, the fifth year students complete a number of similar modules during that year including a law course, driving lessons, ECDL and video production.
