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.

The Official Opening of our new All-Weather Facility ‘Clós Phádraig Uí Fhainín’.

Wow! What a day to be a Mount Sion man or woman! Today saw the official opening of our new All-Weather facility ‘Clós Phádraig Uí Fhainín’. The sun shone and we all smiled and got to be very happy for what was a great day for our school! It is an honour for our school to be associated with the Fanning family and we are so grateful that so many of Pat’s family were able to be present today. Many thanks to all the staff who helped organise today’s events, many thanks to the great support of our own Mount Sion GAA Club. The Club gave us €5,000 towards the project but we also got great advice and leadership from Peter Walsh, Chairperson. It was also great to see our Senior Hurlers playing on the new pitch with our pupils. It was fantastic to see so many parents come to celebrate with us, up to 40 parents joined us in the Hall for cakes, teas and coffees. We also welcomed back so many of our former teachers. It was lovely to have Mr. Declan Foley former principal in school today and of course the legendary Br. Griffey. Let us remember Pat Fanning’s inspiring words; ‘‘The future is ours to shape. Let us move towards it with confidence.” Mount Sion’s future is bright! Cnoc Síon abú!
