Dare to Believe

April 29, 2026

We would like to extend a sincere thank you to Olympian Tom Barr for visiting our school as part of the Dare to Believe programme. His energy, honesty, and passion for sport made a real impact on our TY Active Schools class, and his stories about resilience and dedication were truly inspiring. We’re grateful for the time he took to share his journey and for reminding us of the power of hard work and belief. He even had a race with some of the class and special mention to Cían Barry who managed to beat him, we might have an olympian on our hands yet! 
 
He gave us some tips and tricks for our 5km run we have coming up in school on Thursday May 14th, get the running shoes ready!
