Extra-Curricular
Activities
Oatlands u18 Hurling Team 2008/09
The
extra-curricular life of the College is designed to promote the creative
and rewarding use of leisure time through involvement in sporting and
cultural activities. The collaboration and team spirit which these
activities generate help to counterbalance the over-emphasis on
individualism which the points' system tends to promote.
In the area of sport, Oatlands College caters for a wide variety of
activities. These include
- Gaelic Football
- Hurling
- Soccer
- Athletics and Cross-Country
- Basketball
- Badminton, Table-tennis and Volleyball
- Indoor football and Golf.
For incoming 1st years, there are activities to cater for all
interests. As well as the sports listed above, archery and magic
classes are to be introduced in the coming months.
Other cultural activities include Arts/Crafts, production of literary
magazines and newsletters, public speaking, stage productions, choral work, music, class and table quizes.
