Sport at St. Michael's N.S. is an important part of our day.  In addition to our bi-weekly P.E. sessions, we take frequent movement breaks in the classroom and all P.E. equipment is available to the pupils during break-time in the yard and on the school green.  We also organise various workshops for the pupils such as gymanstics.

St. Michael's N.S. has a joint hockey team with St. Finbarres N.S.  Together we take part in various hockey matches and hockey blitzes. Training is on a Saturday and during school.

During the Summer term, the pupils have tennis lessons in the St. Michael's Tennis Club over the road from us.

During the winter months the pupils attend hurling training at Blackrock G.A.A club

Swimming takes place after school on Fridays at the Douglas Swimming Pool.

During the year the pupils take part in athletic activities and workshops.  We also have our School Sports Day each year in June and take part in the Small Schools Athletics Competition.
