Active Schools
At Boher NS, we are committed to the physical activity, wellbeing, and happiness of our students. Throughout the 2023-24 school year, we provided numerous opportunities for our children to engage in a wide variety of sports and activities, both within and outside of school. These experiences are essential for fostering a healthy and active lifestyle, as well as promoting teamwork and personal growth.
This year we will be continuing this commitment to sports by setting up an Active schools committee and working towards an Active Flag to celebrate the commitment the children show towards sporting achievement and hopefully developing lifelong positive attitudes to good health and physical fitness.
In 2023-24 students had the chance to participate in diverse sports including yoga, swimming, tennis, Gaelic football, rugby, camogie, soccer, and skipping. These activities were designed to cater to different interests and skill levels, ensuring that every child could find something they enjoyed and suited them.

Moreover, teams from our school proudly participated in several prestigious sports competitions. We took part in the Jim Savage athletics competition at Glenmore, where our students showcased their talents. Additionally, our teams competed in the Cumann na mBunscol competitions for football and camogie, as well as a soccer blitz with the FAI. We were fortunate to have a very skilful girls’ team this year who found success in June by lifting the Scaith Uí Choindealbhán.

These events not only provided our students with the thrill of competition but also the invaluable experience of representing their school and working together towards common goals. We believe that these opportunities contribute significantly to the overall development and happiness of our students, and we are committed to continuing this tradition of excellence in physical education and sports.
