Extra Curricular

There is a huge range of activities available for students Loreto Bray.

In the “games” department students can play any number of the different sports on offer. These include Hockey, Basketball, Badminton, Soccer, Gaelic, Tennis and Tabletennis. Softball and Cricket also featured last summer.

There is a school Debating Society and First Years form teams to compete against one another in special Lunchtime Debates. Second and Fifth Years take part in the Loreto Debates, as well as taking part in local and national debating competitions.

The school orchestra is very active and First Years are encouraged to join it. Students who are keen to learn a musical instrument are coached on the school instruments during lunchtimes.

The Drama Club, under the experienced hand of Ms Iris Keogh, is extremely popular. With Mr Sean Leahy and some of the senior members, a number of plays are performed in May each year. The club usually runs from 3.30 - 5.00 each Friday evening.

Participation by students in some “extra-curricular” activity is strongly encouraged. Students make new friends, learn new skills and develop healthy leisure pursuits. It also leaves less time for mischief!
