Sports
The school holds a sports day at the end of every academic year where the whole school takes place in a variety of sporting events in an attempt to help their House team win. There are four different Houses: Agherton (red), Drumslade (blue), Cromore (yellow) and Roselick (Green).
Annually, pupils participate in football matches, hockey tournaments, the Inter Schools' Swimming Gala, Coleraine & District Primary Schools' Athletics Championship, Cricket tournaments and Cross Country events.
Portstewart Primary has enjoyed success on the football pitch, including a 5–1 victory in the 2000 Doherty Cup Final at the Coleraine Showgrounds.

Delight in them sets off. Some kinds of baseness
Are nobly undergone, and most poor matters
Point to rich ends.”
