GAA:
We have a great working relationship with our local Castlehaven GAA club. James McCarthy comes into the school for two blocks each year to coach us and he sometimes brings past pupils with him to help.
We take part in the Sciath na Scol competition each year with a boys and a girls team. This is for children from 3rd – 6th classes. Our teams have won their competition on a number of occasions and have contested many finals.

Girls from our school were part of the Castlehaven girls’ team who had the honour of playing on the hallowed Croke Park turf at half time of the All Ireland Ladies Football Final between Cork and Dublin. This was a great experience for all involved and many supporters also travelled with the girls on the day. They received football kit from TG4 and also flags and met with local hero Nollaig Cleary when she brought the Diarmuid Martin Cup to Castlehaven shortly afterwards.
We had a visit from some of the Castlehaven Minor and Junior D ladies in December, they brought with them their cups after their successful seasons.
