The Homework Club has been running since 2006. We provide 28 places (1st to 6th class) from Monday to Thursday afternoons, 2:45 to 4pm during the normal school year. The club is volunteer led and gives support to young people in maths, English and Irish. We aim to create an environment that makes young people want to learn and support each other in this.
