As principal here I am delighted to welcome you to our school. It is an absolute privilege and honour for me and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to continue to make this school a flagship for all that is excellent in primary school education in Ireland.
Our school is a beautiful rural school set in the heart of East Galway. We are blessed with our surroundings, our Astro turf, playing fields, community playground and athletics track and our fabulous new school building that enables us to provide an ideal and unique education for our students. We are delighted to showcase our school events and happenings through our new, colourful and engaging website.
Our school motto is ‘Ní neart go cur le chéile’
(There is no strength without unity)
We value our positive school atmosphere, our team spirit and our strong close links with our school community. Every student is central to our happy, vibrant learning community.
We are a Catholic school which strives to reflect our Catholic values in a caring Christian atmosphere while respecting and valuing the beliefs of all.
We have 14 mainstream classes along with an ASD special class. We provide an inclusive approach to education whereby each pupil is nurtured to reach their full potential.
Our Board of Management, School staff, Parents Association and entire school community work together to give the best opportunities to our students.
The school prides itself on our excellent standards of teaching and learning, our extra- curricular activities and our participation in wonderful initiatives.
You will get a flavour of this as you navigate through our website.
Le meas,
Claire Urquhart
