All school-run lunchtime clubs are completely free to attend. All essential equipment (such as robotics kits, board games, craft supplies, and musical instruments) is provided by the school. How are students supervised during lunchtime activities? Every club is organised and supervised by designated teaching staff members or faculty coordinators. Rooms are opened following the designated lunch break bell. Can First Years join any club? Yes! The vast majority of our clubs operate an open-door policy for all year groups. A small number of specialised programmes (such as An Gaisce for Senior Cycle or Big Brother Big Sister mentorship) are year-group specific as indicated on the schedule grid. \u201c Getting involved in extra-curricular activities at Davitt College isn&#8217;t just about learning new skills\u2014it&#8217;s where you make lifelong friends, find your confidence, and make your mark on our school community.
