St. Brigid’s GAA Nursery launches 2008 Calendar The
St Brigid’s GAA Club is located in Russell Park off the Navan
Road behind the Esso garage and adjacent to the new Phoenix Park Railway
station. This thriving club provides its members with a wide range of
facilities including Ireland’s finest All Weather Pitch. One of the longest established sections within the club is the St. Brigid’s Nursery which runs all year round just taking a break during the primary school holidays. Its principal aim is to introduce children of school going age to Gaelic Games in a structured and fun environment by:
The ethos of the Nursery is ‘skills with fun’. In order to ensure that this ethos becomes a reality the following guidelines are applied to the hurling and football sessions: Groups are divided by age, but in order to ensure that children are comfortable within groups, skill levels are taken into account when dividing groups Parents of children are encouraged to be present at all times to support their children during the nursery sessions. Children with special needs are included and, where possible, guidance sought from the parents on appropriate activities and helpers appointed specifically to help these children
St Brigid’s GAA is continuing to develop its facilities and the final phase of the current development plan in the club will see the upgrading of the existing community facilities to include new changing rooms, offices, meeting rooms, kitchen, new club shop and function rooms which will cater for all community activities To help busy parents plan ahead the Nursery has just released its calendar of events for 2008.
