Star of the Sea Sports
Star of the Sea has a long and proud history to the fore of primary school sports in Dublin. The school places a strong emphasis on participation, inclusion, skill development and teamwork. We are committed to improving the fundamental movement skills of all pupils during Physical Education lessons. Our pupils receive coaching in Gaelic football, hurling, cricket, cross-country running, track athletics, swimming, rugby, tennis and hockey.
The Star jersey has been worn in competition since the school was one of the eight founders of Cumann na mBunscoil in 1928.

The school sports day is an important date for the calendar each June bank holiday. The events take place in the grounds Clanna Gael Fontenoy and occasionally on the full track facilities of Irishtown Stadium.
The school community is proud of the Star Boys who have gone on to represent Ireland at cricket, soccer and rugby and who have represented Dublin at Gaelic football.
While we have enjoyed winning matches in Croke Park, winning the Leinster Cricket Super League and bringing individual and team athletics winners medals back to the school, what brings most satisfaction is seeing a group of boys training and improving together with a shared commitment to develop and improve.
