Welcome

Dear Students, Parents, and extended families,  

Ba mhaith liom fáilte a chuir roimh cách!   

I am thrilled to welcome you to our vibrant school community! At St. Colmcille's G.N.S., we believe in nurturing not only the minds but also the hearts of our young learners. Our dedicated staff is committed to providing a safe and inspiring environment where every child can thrive.  

We embrace a holistic approach to education, fostering curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning. Our curriculum is designed to engage students through innovative teaching methods, hands-on experiences, and collaboration. We celebrate diversity and promote values such as respect, kindness, and resilience.  

As we embark on this journey together, I encourage you to stay involved and take an active role in your child’s education. Communication is key, so please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.  

Thank you for being a part of our school family. Together, we can create a wonderful year filled with growth, discovery, and joy! 

Le Meas,  

Karen Burke Logue
School Principal

Bhí craic mhór i Rang a Sé inniu. Ghlac na ranganna pháirt i gceardlann iontach le @gael_linn agus @maire_nichurraoin. We learned the song ‘Gráinne’ and Ms Cushen’s class were thrilled to be one of the classes chosen to sing the curfá for all the other scoileanna taking part! Maith sibh cailíní! It was a great way to celebrate European Languages Day.
