From September to December 2016, Ms. Myers’ 6th class were involved in a Sky Sports Mentoring project called Sky Sports Living for Sport. The objective of the project was for 6th class to mentor a younger class and teach them a new skill. The boys had the opportunity to work alongside Conor Galvin from Connacht Rugby and Kevin Conlan from Sky Sports over a 12 week period. They then used the skills they had learned to teach Ms. Cunningham’s 2nd Class touch rugby. Not only did this initiative bring great enjoyment to both classes but it also improved the children’s self-confidence, behaviour, self-esteem and social skills.
