Wicklow Schools GAA
There is a very strong emphasis on Gaelic games in schools in Wicklow, both primary and secondary schools. In almost all cases coaching is done on a voluntary basis by teachers who may have links to local GAA clubs.
In the Cumann na mBunscoil league for primary schools, St Cronan's BNS and St.Joseph's Newtownmountkennedy continue to be dominant forces in Gaelic football.
The county's Vocational Schools team has won 12 Leinster and 3 All-Ireland Championships, the last coming in 2006.

Famous quotes containing the word schools:
“Our good schools today are much better than the best schools of yesterday. When I was your age and a pupil in school, our teachers were our enemies.
Can any thing ... be more painful to a friendly mind, than a necessity of communicating disagreeable intelligence? Indeed it is sometimes difficult to determine, whether the relator or the receiver of evil tidings is most to be pitied.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
