Cappawhite NS are currently in the process of setting up a Special Olympics Athletics club. The club will cater for all boys and girls in Cappawhite n.s with diagnosed learning disabilities who wish to take part in the games. The S.O club is led by Mr. Ryan (Chairperson and coach) and Mrs. English (coach).

Hopefully we can participate in our first official event sometime in the next school year.

Although there are no Cumann na mBunscoile competitions taking place this year, Cappawhite N.S continue to keep their eye on the ball. Mr. Ryan and Mr. O'Brien have kept training up at lunch times. Numbers are small as we must stay in our class pods but its been a great opportunity to work on specific skills in both hurling and football. Hopefully we can bring these new and improve skills back to the field of play next September.
