Extra-Curricular Activities
City Connects
Providing Outstanding Opportunities and Supports to Our Students
Gardiner Street Primary School has been incredibly lucky to have been chosen to take part in The City Connects Programme.
- Every year, a City Connects Coordinator collaborates with school staff to review the strengths and needs of each and every student in every class.
- Following consultation with parents, the Coordinator then links each child to a tailored set of supports and enrichment opportunities, to build on their strengths, address any particular need they may have and link to areas they are interested in.
- These supports will be offered either in school or within the community. Each and every child will receive an individual, personalised plan with a tailored set of activities and services to help them succeed and thrive, both in school and beyond.
Below you can read about some of the extra-curricular activities enjoyed by our children, many of which take place before and after school.
Music
Gardiner Street Primary School is renowned as a hub of music.
Our Advanced Orchestra performed at Córfhéile in Tallaght Stadium. Take a look at the amazing performances from our students. Thank you to our wonderful teachers who bring out the best in the children. Well done to all the children who demonstrated excellence in teamwork, dedication, passion and hard work.

Film Making
Gardiner Street Primary School has a long-standing tradition of film making and involvement in the Fís Film Project.
We are proud to announce that last year's film, "St.Brigid" was shortlisted for an award at the Fís Film Awards.
The children and teachers involved attended the awards ceremony in The Helix on the 21st of February 2024 and enjoyed a wonderful day out.
