GAA 5 Star Centre

The GAA 5 Star initiative aims to support and recognise Primary Schools that provide pupils with 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous Gaelic Games activity per week in a manner that ensures the children will experience fun, friendship, fairness and ultimately improve their fitness.

Recognition as a “GAA 5 Star Centre” is awarded to Primary Schools that undertake to deliver a programme of Gaelic Games activity that is age-appropriate and meets the developmental needs of children within the school. In order to receive recognition as a “GAA 5 Star Centre” a Primary School must provide for the flexible delivery of the following activities over the course of a school year:

  • Have a Ball
  • Fun and Run
  • Catch and Kick
  • Strike It
  • Go Games Skills Challenges

Our school was delighted to be awarded the title of GAA 5 Star Centre in 2019 and we continue to fly our flag proudly as we maintain our high levels of Gaelic Games and GAA year after year.
