Dear Prospective Parents,
I am delighted to introduce myself as the newly appointed Principal of Coláiste Aindriú and I am truly honoured to lead a school that exemplifies its core values of Excellence in Education, Community, Respect, Care, and Inclusion. These values are not just principles we teach, but the foundation upon which our entire school community is built. Every day, I am inspired by the way our students, staff, and parents come together to foster an environment where each child feels valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.
Our school’s size is its superpower, with a maximum enrolment of 48 in each year, we offer a highly personalised education where every student is known and cared for. In our uniquely sized school, we have the unique opportunity to cater to the individual needs of each child, providing the attention and encouragement they deserve. This intimate environment allows for closer relationships between students and staff, creating a nurturing space where children feel safe to learn, grow, and discover their potential.
We are proud to offer all academic programs including Junior Cycle, Transition Year, Leaving Certificate and Leaving Cert Applied. From a comprehensive curriculum including a diverse range of subjects to a variety of extracurricular opportunities, our students receive a well-rounded education that prepares them for future success. What truly sets us apart, however, is the calm, supportive atmosphere that allows our students to excel without the pressures often felt in larger schools.
In our school, everyone knows each other, fostering a deep sense of belonging and creating lifelong friendships that enrich the students’ experiences both inside and outside the classroom.
We are still accepting applications for September 2025 and I would like to extend a warm invitation to you to explore what our school has to offer. We would love the opportunity to show you how we can provide a unique, nurturing educational experience for your child.
I am incredibly proud to be part of this community and look forward to the possibility of welcoming your family to our school. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for more information or to arrange a visit.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.
Sarah Kennedy
