At St. Michael's National School, we recognise the vital role that sport plays in the physical, social, and emotional development of our pupils. Sport is an important part of school life, helping children to build confidence, develop teamwork skills, and adopt healthy, active lifestyles.

We are proud to offer a wide range of sporting activities to encourage participation, enjoyment, and personal achievement. Our pupils take part in:

• GAA - building teamwork, skill, and community pride
• Soccer - promoting fitness, fair play, and fun
• Swimming - supporting water safety and confidence in the pool
• Skipping - improving coordination, rhythm, and stamina
• Cycling - promoting road safety and independence
• Athletics and running - developing endurance, speed, and goal-setting

Through sport, we teach our pupils the values of perseverance, respect, and healthy competition. Whether on the pitch, in the pool, or in the yard, sport at St. Michael's NS is for everyone-and every achievement is celebrated.
