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.
