Spórt
Sciath na Scol
Both boys and girls are given the opportunity to participate in a variety of sports with the school fielding teams in football, hurling, camogie and girls football.
I nGaelscoil Uí Riada cuirimid béim ar an spórt agus go speisialta an rannpháirtíocht. Glacann foirne scoile pairt i gComórtaisí Sciath na Scol Chorcaí san iomáint, camógaíocht, peil agus peil na gcailíní. Déantar traenáil do na cluichí ó 2.45 i.n. – 3.45 i.n. i gC.L.C.G. Bhaile an Easpaig nó Halla na Scoile.
Swimming
The school organises swimming lessons each year for Second to Fifth Class pupils in Leisureworld, Bishopstown. Six classes are generally organised with two swimming teachers and the class teacher in attendance.
Comórtas Leadóige na mBunscol
These competitions were a new venture for Gaelscoil Uí Riada and games were played in a friendly, sporting atmosphere with the children themselves responsible for scoring etc.
Tagann Conor Clarke – múinteoir leadóige – go dtí an scoil gach seachtain agus stiúraíonn sé ranganna leadóige sa Halla.
Music
Gaelscoil Uí Riada has a strong musical tradition. Music is an integral part of school life both as part of the curriculum and outside. Each class enjoys music – from the Infant classes using the percussion instruments, to classes from Senior Infants up learning the tin whistle and the recorder.
Eagraítear Banna Cheoil traidisiúnta sa scoil agus tagann siad le chéile gach seachtain chun ceol Gaelach a sheinnt lena chéile agus cúpla port nua a fhoghlaim.
Gach bhliain bíonn Céiliúradh na Nollag againn agus bíonn ceol agus amhráin le cloisteáil.

Turasanna
School trips afford children an opportunity to learn more about areas of interest that have been studied in class and to listen to experts in a particular subject area. It also displays to the pupils how learning need not be confined to a school or classroom. It can also be great fun!
