At The Model School we offer a variety of different sports:
 
Hockey:  In the Senior classes you will do hockey on the Kilkenny College hockey pitch.

Basketball: Coach Joe Byrne will teach Basketball in the Summer season to 2nd class and up.

Soccer: Every break the classes take turns for the use of the soccer pitch.The 6th Class pupils entered a soccer tournament.

 
Irish Dancing: We do Irish Dancing every Friday with Mairead Blanchfield. We do Ceili dancing and Set dancing. The Ceili dances we do are called The Bridge of Athlone and Shoe The Donkey. We have parteners in Set Dancing. There are four different groups with eight people in each group four girls and four boys. In Ceili Dancing the steps we do are called sevens. In Set Dancing we have to be the same height as our partener. We have to dance in a circle and change parteners but at the end of the dance we end up with the partener we started out with. At the end of term we have a competition and the winner is the one who dances the nicest.

Swimming:  Everyone from Senior Infants to Sixth class go swimmming during term 1 and term 2.
Everyone enjoys the swimming lessons. For the Inter Schools Gala in term 3 we send about 20 children. Lots of medals are won, and everyone has a great day.
