Sports and Activities.
At Mount Sion, learning extends well beyond the classroom. From their earliest years, pupils are encouraged to dive into a diverse range of activities and sports. Whether they’re interested in chess, gardening, basketball, hurling, debating, drama, robotics, or book clubs, there’s something to suit every passion and talent. We strive to help each pupil uncover and nurture their interests, creating opportunities for lifelong learning. There’s always an exciting activity to enrich the school experience!
Mount Sion
Mount Sion is renowned in hurling circles, and this deep connection to our national game remains a vibrant part of our school’s culture. Yard hurling is a cherished tradition here, reflecting our enduring passion for the sport. Each generation builds on a rich legacy, and with distinguished past pupils like John Keane, Pat Fanning, Frankie Walsh, and Ken McGrath, it’s no surprise that Gaelic games hold a central place in our sporting activities.

Trinity College Students Mentor 6th class
Following on from being named by Trinity College as a 21st Century School of Distinction earlier this year, the links between the university and our school were further enhanced today. We were delighted to welcome Dr. Katriona O' Sullivan from Trinity College to our school. Katriona was accompanied by four Trinity students who shared their academic journey with our sixth class boys. The boys were encouraged to set goals for the future and realised that the "world is indeed their oyster" and anything is possible! It was a most uplifting and inspirational experience for all involved, teachers, professors, students and of course our boys! The key message from these wonderful Trinity Access students was that there are no barriers if you really want to achieve. A huge thanks to everyone in Trinity Access 21 for this wonderful initiative. It seems like this is not the last our sixth class boys will be seeing of our new mentors. The group from Trinity College also listened to a presentation from a group of Mount Sion boys on how they achieved our 'Buddy Bench'. They presentation was excellent and they represented our school with pride.
