- a continual in-service training and education towards staff development and support, thus preserving the traditional professional standards within the school.
- a fostering of links between home, school and the wider community
Déanaimid gach iarracht an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn mar chuid dár n-oidhreacht ársa mar Éireannaigh, meas ar an teanga a chothú i measc na ndaltaí, agus a gcumas i labhairt na teanga a thabhairt chun foirfeachta. The service we offer is centred on the formation of the whole person, is designed that every student is a valued member of our school and later becomes a confident, well-adjusted and fulfilled member of the wider community.
