Barna NS : A 5 STAR GAA CENTRE
Barna NS has been awarded the 5 STAR GAA CENTRE Award
The GAA 5 Star Initiative aims to support and recognise Primary Schools that provide pupils with 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous Gaelic Games activity per week in a manner that ensures the children will experience fun, friendship, fairness and ultimately improve their fitness.
Recognition as a “GAA 5 STAR CENTRE” is awarded to Primary Schools that undertake to deliver a programme of Gaelic Games activity that is age- appropriate and meets the developmental needs of children within the school.
Here in Barna, we promote and encourage our pupils to enjoy and participate in Gaelic Games activity from Junior infants to 6th class. Our pupils enjoy Football and Hurling Training, After School training for 3rd – 6th class, rounders, Indoor Hurling and football leagues and Cumann na mBunscol Hurling and Football leagues in which they have been very successful winners down through the years. Our younger pupils enjoy and participate in lots of fun activities to develop agility, running, and hand-eye co ordination.
