Cumann na mBunscol
Every year, under the coaching of Mrs Sheppard, girls from 5th and 6th classes participate in Cumann na mBunscol organised football and camogie competitions. Mrs Collier, has also helped with coaching. In 2015/16 the whole school was delighted when the camogie team won their final, played in O'Moore Park, Portlaoise in May.

Sports Day
During their final week in primary school (weather permitting) the 6th class organise a school sports day for all the other classes. The girls always work hard to come up with new and interesting activities - we've had welly throwing, water races, layers races as well as old favourites such as the egg and spoon race, sack races and a treasure hunt. This is great fun for everybody, and gives the 6th class a great chance to show off their organisational and leadership skills. Since they do all the hard work on the day it's also a nice treat for the teachers at the end of the school year!
Swimming
3rd and 4th classes attend swimming lessons in Portlaoise Leisure Centre in the final term each year. This is always something nice to look forward to as the year draws to an end.
Athletics
In connection with Laois Sports Partnership, 1st/2nd classes have attended Athletics in Castletown Hall during the first term for a number of years now. They haven't yet managed to raise the roof cheering each other on, but it's always a possibility!
