Sport has always been part of the fabric that makes up Bawnmore National School. Forming healthy practices and having fun are at the forefront of every sporting activity undertaken. It is always our aim to provide pupils with a variety of sporting experiences during their time at Bawnmore National School.

​

We have taken part in many Touch Rugby competitions coordinated by Connacht Rugby and the F.A.I. Primary Schools Futsal and Five-a-side competitions have always attracted great interest.

​

Gymnastics and dance lessons are taught by trained professionals each year. These lessons provide a gateway for many pupils who choose to pursue these skillful activities further with gymnastic and dance clubs. Both Irish dancing and contemporary hip hop dancing are enjoyed by our pupils. These skills are put to good use in the Christmas concert each year!​

​

All pupils receive annual swimming lessons from third to sixth class. 

 

Athletics is very popular with our pupils. Each year Bawnmore is well-represented in the County Sports competition. We have been very lucky to receive great support and coaching from parents over the years. A number of former pupils have helped with athletics coaching too. Our pupils respond so well to former pupils who come to impart their knowledge and tips.

​

Our school is always open to new sports activities. Recent years have seen pupils experience Tug of War, Ultimate Frisbee and skipping workshops.
