The grounds staff, led by Rugby Coaching Coordinator Mr Murphy and administrator Mr Bradfield, have laid a new floor surface for indoor sprinting and floor exercises along with streamlining the fitness equipment. New additions to the exercise machines are on order in a planned upgrade of the popular facility that will be augmented over the next few years.

Principal Ian Coombes said: “The gym is intensively used by senior students under supervision from 7.00am and is a popular after school and weekend facility amongst day pupils and boarders alike. The addition of PE as a Leaving Certificate subject in 2020 has added even more relevance to the gym.”
