Our Sports
|
To say we are passionate about sports in St. Laurence's NS is an understatement! We recognise the critical importance of physical activity and team play in the lives of our young boys and girls and encourage their participation at all levels. We are lucky to have great sporting clubs on our doorstep - Na Dubh Ghall GAA, Baldoyle United FC, and Suttonians RFC to name a few. We also coach Basketball, Trackside Tennis, Table Tennis, Boxing, Irish Dancing and Athletics and our school takes enormous pride in our continued sporting achievements over the years.

As this map of our school and grounds demonstrates, our school has truly excellent sporting facilities which includes a surfaced yard & basketball pitch, football pitches and an all-weather pitch (see bottom right of Senior School - darker green). We have a mutually beneficial arrangement in place with Baldoyle United FC who have use of our grounds at agreed times and, in return, care for the maintenance and upkeep of the facilities to the highest possible standard. As a priority, our young boys and girls get to enjoy extensive access to these state-of-the-art facilities.

Other Local Organisations
We also promote the active participation of the boys and girls in all kinds of physical activity outside the school.
Many of our children are part of Scouts Ireland at Beaver (ages 6-8) or Cub (ages 9-11) level in Sutton, Bayside and other nearby groups. Scouting offers a huge range of adventure activities which are age appropriate. The Beavers learn new things like camping, while the Cubs get to plan their own adventures and care for the community and the environment.
Many of our students also belong to the Song and Dance Stage School in Baldoyle where they appear in regular concert and musical theatre performances to widespread critical acclaim.
All of the after-school activities provide a great way for the boys and girls to stay fit while learning new skills and growing in confidence. We are lucky to have some of the best sporting and stage school organisations in Ireland right here in Baldoyle!
