Our Annual Sponsored Walk will take place next Friday, 27th September 2024. it is a very important event for the school as it is our only means of raising much needed funds for PE equipment and extra-curricular sports in the school. Sport is a huge part of our identity here at St. Fintan’s. Last year, students participated in Athletics, Basketball, Hurling, Gaelic Football, Badminton, Tennis, Squash, Sailing, Rugby, Soccer, Golf, Table Tennis and Ultimate Frisbee, achieving great success at all levels. In order to help us further nurture sports in the school in this academic year, please contribute to our event on our GoFundMe page at: https://www.gofundme.com/f/2024-support-sports-in-st-fintans-high-school
