This years PEAI conference was held in Ballincollig, Co. Cork on the 14th & 15th October. We would like to thank the PEAI organising committee and all those teachers for their interest and questions over the weekend.
The PEAI organising committee evidently put many hours of planning into this successful event with lectures, forums and workshops all being co-ordinated throughout the days. Keynote lectures & presentations were given by respected figures and on the practical side there was everything from volleyball, badminton, ultimate Frisbee, rugby and Gaelic football sessions.
A number of teachers expressed interest in entering our schools Facebook competition at PEAI conference and we were receiving entries yesterday evening. We want to give those schools/teachers a fair chance of entering the competition so the draw will now be made this Friday 21st October. We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused but believe that this is the fairest option.
