GAA:
Senior girls take part in the Primary Gaelic Football League and in the Camogie League.  The girls have had success in recent years, in both camogie and Gaelic football. Training is held weekly, after school, in Ballycomey. 

Swimming:
In Term 2, 2nd – 6th class pupils attend swimming lessons in Graiguecullen pool.. This is a very worthwhile opportunity to gain confidence in the pool and is enjoyed by all.

Active Schools Week:
This is held every June and incorporates cycling, dance, games, athletics, skipping and culminates in Sports Day at Ballycomey. Also, senior girls organise Move on Monday or Fun Friday, several times during the year, to encourage pupils to play games and be active at lunchtime.
 

Active Flag: From 2022, we have been working towards our Active Flag, and have an Active Walkway installed. There are regular activities to follow each month/ term, and our Active Schools Committee highlights these, and encourages pupils to be more active. 

See our dedicated page on this website, for more information. 

The School Run:
For the past few years, our school has held a fundraiser in the Discovery Park, called The School Run. The fantastic Run Committee organise a 10K and 5K run, with a 2 K family walk/ run, magnificent refreshments, face painting and great entertainment. Follow @TheSchoolRun_ie for more information.

Cycling:
We learn about cycling safety and have cycling lessons in senior classes. Girls learn the rules of the road and have lots of fun navigating the special course set out for them. We are lucky to have had special cycling safety instructors to deliver lessons and also provide bicycles!

Dance and Gymnastics :

Local teacher, Lisa Coogan, teaches different dance styles to all classes. She also provides gymnastics sessions in school. 
 

Volleyball and Basketball:

We are lucky to have facilities for these games, and at different times of the year, appropriate coaches along with class teachers, promote the skills and fun of basketball and volleyball. 

Sports day:
This is held each June in Ballycomey. This is a great day for all involved, with the Parents’ Council providing huge support. Athletics, co-operative games, novelty races and ball games are all enjoyed. The bouncy castle and treats at the end of the day, round off a sporting, fun day.

Facilities:
The gym has the equipment to facilitate the teaching across the strands of the P.E. Curriculum. We have ample suitable resources for all classes, and these can be used outdoors also. Outside, have two basketball courts, a volleyball net, and hop-scotch games.

Playground:
The L – shaped playground allows for active break times. When the weather permits, pupils play skipping and use other gym equipment. Everyone comes back into schoolwork refreshed!
