Principal’s Message

As Principal of Scoil Naomh Chárthaigh it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our school website.

Scoil Naomh Chárthaigh is a school that has been at the heart of the Castleisland community since 1875. The school moved to its current location on College Road in 1961.

Scoil Naomh Chárthaigh is a Catholic school and we place great emphasis on our Christian values of truth, integrity, compassion and kindness. In partnership with the parents, we endeavour to nurture the children’s academic, social, emotional and spiritual development. As a staff we aim to provide a safe, caring and stimulating learning environment for our pupils and we welcome families of all nationalities and religious beliefs. We are proud of our pupils, they are hardworking, well behaved and a credit to our school. They have tremendous energy, are kind, resilient and keen to learn. We aim to nurture that curiosity, grow their confidence and open their eyes to the possibilities around them. We promote this by giving them a voice in the running of the school through the Student’s Council. The council allows the children to come together and express their ideas.

I really hope you enjoy visiting our website to see for yourself the rich learning and experiences that take place here - you can contact the school office to request a copy of our school brochure (066) 7142420. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Is mise le meas,

Pádraig Ó Corcoráin
