St Brigid’s PS gain national GAA honours

Cumann Na mBunscol is the organisation which co-ordinates gaelic games activity in primary schools throughout Ireland.

The event took place in GAA Headquarters at Croke Park, Dublin and the school were recognised in the ‘Promotion of Gaelic Games and Culture’ category.

Central to the school’s success was their work to promote Gaelic games at all levels in the school and particularly among Ethnic Minority groups.

The latter was achieved in partnership with All Saints GAC. when a successful six week coaching programme was undertaken earlier this year involving a number of other partners including St. Brigid’s PS, The Ballymena Saturday Polish School and SportNI.

This is the second time the school has been recognised at national level for their GAA efforts having finished runner up in the large school of the year category last year while they were also crowned Irish News Ulster GAA School of the Year in 2011.
