At Scoil Eoin Baiste, we place a strong emphasis on the importance of sport and physical activity in the development of our students. We believe that physical activity not only promotes health and well-being but also fosters teamwork, discipline, and school spirit.

 

Our pupils have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of sporting activities, with particular focus on Gaelic Football, Hurling, and Soccer. We are proud to compete in local and regional competitions, encouraging all our students to represent the school with pride, determination, and respect.

 

We are lucky to have some amazing teachers and coaches who visit the school throughout the year to support teachers in implementing the P.E. curriculum. Eve McGettigan teaches Irish Dancing, Syria McGeever coaches basketball, soccer and orienteering and Manus Friel coaches Gaelic Football. The children from 3rd - 6th Class also go swimming in the final term at Magherabeg Leisure Centre. 

 

Through sport, we aim to nurture a lifelong love of physical activity and fair play.
