We are pleased to announce that we have been nominated for the #BeActive Education Award by The Irish Sport Council.  The #BeActive Education Award 2017 is one of three award categories of the #BeActive Awards, launched as part of the 2017 European Week of Sport. This award category identifies three educational establishments from across Europe that promote active educational settings in addition to sport/physical activity classes in the standard curriculum to encourage young people to #BeActive. St. Brigid's GNS was chosen to represent Ireland in this category. A massive well done to to all of our teachers, pupils and parents for this nomination.

The Irish Sports Council informed us that the selection committee were particularly impressed by the inclusive nature and overall impact of our physical activity efforts. The European Council are now in the process of selecting three finalists in the education category to attend an awards ceremony which will take place in Marseilles, France in mid-October. Fingers crossed everyone!
