The Minister of State for Training and Skills, Ciarán Cannon T.D., launched Active School Week 2014 recently.
Active School Week is a central part of the ‘Active School Flag Initiative’. The initiative recognises schools that strive to achieve a physically active and physically educated school community.
The initiative is open to primary and post primary schools, special schools and Youthreach centres. To date over 350 schools have been awarded the Flag. it is expected (Táthar ag súil go ….) that this number will increase to more than 500 by the end of the year.
Minister Cannon said, “I would encourage schools across the country to get more active. It is a wonderful opportunity for schools to promote physical activity and raise awareness of Physical Education (PE).
“I hope that all schools will get involved and I would ask that schools and parents encourage children of all ages to participate in this initiative. We all know how important it is to be physically active and I believe this initiative can enhance the PE experience of children and young people.”

Sheol Ciarán Cannon T.D, an tAire Oiliúna agus Scileanna, Seachtain Scoile Ghníomhaí 2014 le déanaí.
Tá ról lárnach ag an seachtain seo sa tionscnamh ‘Bratach Scoile Gníomhaí’.
Tugann an tionscnamh aitheantas do scoileanna atá ag obair go dian chun pobal scoile atá gníomhaíoch go fisiceach agus a bhfuil oideachas orthu faoin tábhacht a bhaineann le gníomhaíocht choirp, a bhaint amach.
Tá an tionscnamh ar fáil do bhunscoileanna agus do mheánscoileanna, do scoileanna speisialta agus d’ionaid Youthreach. Tá an brat bainte amach ag breis agus 350 scoileanna. Táthar ag súil go dtiocfaidh méadú ar an uimhir seo chun go breis agus 500 roimh dheireadh na bliana.
Dúirt an tAire Cannon, “Molaim do scoileanna timpeall na tire gníomhaíocht choirp a chur chun cinn.Is deis iontach é seo do scoileanna aird na scoile a tharraingt ar ghníomhaíocht choirp agus ar chorpoideachas. ”
“Iarraim ar scoileanna agus ar thuismitheoirí spreagadh a thabhairt do pháistí de gach aois páirt a ghlacadh sa tionscnamh seo. Táimid go léir ar an eolas faoin tábhacht a bhaineann le gníomhaíocht choirp agus creidim go n-athróidh an tionscnamh seo an taithí atá ag na páistí agus ag daoine óga ar chorpoideachas go dearfach.
