Here is a message from our Principal, Mr Tom Harkin

 

Tom Harkin School Principal

St. Colmcille's N.S. Greencastle was opened in 1986.
The school is situated directly across from a very busy fishing port.

At present we have 162 pupils on roll. Our staff includes the Principal,
Deputy Principal, 5 assistant teachers, Learning Support teacher, clerical assistant,
caretaker and 2 cleaning ladies.

The Board of Management of our school consists of four nominees of our Patron,
2 elected parents and 2 teachers. Fr. George Mc Laughlin P.P. V.F. is the
chairperson.

We have a very active Parents Association who are in the process
of providing computers, printers and software for the Information
Technology programme that we have in place in the school.
ICT is timetabled in every class and I would like to record my
appreciation for the efforts made by everyone involved in this.

Our aim is to challenge, stimulate and encourage each pupil to
reach their full potential in an environement where children and
teachers are secure and happy. We would like to use this new and
magical technology to its full to bring out the best in our pupils,
to truly educate.
