St. Anthony's shares the same aim as Active Schools which is to enable schools to achieve a physically educated and physically active school community.

St. Anthony's has used the Active Schools challenge to 'Run around Europe' and adapted it to 'Run around Mayo' encouraging pupils to use our brand new walking track and walk the equivalent distance of walking from St. Anthony's to their village or town in Mayo.

St. Anthony's has forged many close links to external sports clubs and facilities in the local community which has been hugely beneficial towards reaching our aim.
