Activities in our School

We endeavor in the school to provide as many valuable learning experiences to the pupils as possible.  We are keen that the pupils are given an opportunity to practice and develop their skills and discipline in areas that are not necessarily curricular.  The following is a list of activities that pupils may become involved in during their time in St. Josephs National School.

Quizzes

The school participates in the Annual Credit Union Table Quiz usually held in the Ardboyne Hotel.  This is a great opportunity for pupils to test their general knowledge and share their information with team-mates.  In 2014 the Boyerstown Quiz team won the Leinster credit Union Quiz title for the first time.

Spelling Bee

​Since 2013 Boyerstown has participated in the Eason Annual Spelling Bee competition for 5th and 6th class pupils.  Over 40 primary schools in Meath take part and we were honoured in 2017 to have Darren Hughes from 5th class come in 2nd place in Meath with a wonderful exhibition of spelling ability.

School Tour and Field Trips

Each year the classes from Junior Infants to Sixth go on a school tour which would tend to have a mix of education and fun activities involved.  During the year, the class teacher may organise smaller educational field trips that are suitable for the age and developmental levels of the pupils.Each year the classes from Junior Infants to Sixth go on a school tour which would tend to have a mix of education and fun activities involved.  During the year, the class teacher may organise smaller educational field trips that are suitable for the age and developmental levels of the pupils.
