GAA 5 Star Centre

28th Jun 2019

St. Anne's are privileged to have been one of only 16 schools in Ulster to be awarded GAA 5 Star Centre status.

We achieved this award through participation in a GAA 5 Star/Gaelfast pilot initiative, where all our children engaged in at least one hour per week of Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity throughout the whole year. This activity included new fun games such as 'Fun and Run', 'Catch It', 'Strike It', skills challenges and Go Games hurling and football blitzes. Our teachers also received training through the partnership with St Mary's University College, Belfast. Pictures and videos of St Anne's children enjoying our games can be found in our website News and Gallery sections.

It has been a busy year but worthwhile as the whole school got to watch the flag proudly raised for all to see. We hope you all have a super summer of sport!
