Sport – and the GAA in particular - plays a huge part in the life of the school. Over the years a lot of time has been dedicated to coaching the skills of our national games. Every year we enter teams in the various Rackard League Cumann na mBunscol competitions - Hurling, Camogie, Boys and Girls Football, Athletics and Rounders – and we have enjoyed considerable success.

We send athletics teams to compete in the Co. Wexford Primary Schools Sports Day every year and our athletes have always done us proud, invariably bringing back a substantial haul of medals. The Nuala Stafford Cup is competed for every year in a Rounders blitz hosted by our school. This popular competition is dedicated to the memory of teacher Nuala Stafford who sadly passed away in 1996.
A recent development in our school has been the introduction of both Rugby and Cricket Coaching. For the past few years, coaches from Leinster Rugby take Coaching sessions with our 5th and 6th class boys and girls during school time. The year 2019/20 was the first time we began cricket in the school thanks to help from Wexford Wanders Cricket Club.
Equestrian Equestrian sports are very prominent in the parish of Rathangan and many of our pupils are members of the Killinick Harriers Pony Club. Ms Barry and Ms Murphy have entered teams from the schools in the Inter Schools Showjumping Competition over the past number of years, winning the County title on several occasions. Indeed in the year 2019/20, St Anne's NS Equestrian team were ranked Number 1 in all of Ireland! Last year 2022/23 Rathangan NS won the Inter Schools Co. Wexford Primary Showjumping Competition once again.
