Principal's address

As Principal of St. Moninna’s Primary School, I am delighted to welcome you to our school website. Our school community is built upon the foundation of our ethos: Ag foghlaim agus ag fás le gráLearning and Growing with Love. This guiding principle is not just a motto, but a lived experience in every classroom, corridor and playground across our school.

At St. Moninna’s, our children are at the heart of everything we do. Their curiosity, kindness and enthusiasm inspire us daily. We are proud of our strong Catholic ethos, which shapes our values and enriches every aspect of school life. Our dedicated and passionate staff work tirelessly to ensure that each child is nurtured, challenged and supported to reach their full potential.

Our school has a rich heritage of educational excellence dating back to 1831. Since the opening of our current building in 1997, we have continued to grow and evolve, offering bright, well-equipped classrooms and spacious shared areas that foster collaboration and creativity.

We hope this website gives you a window into the vibrant life of our school and keeps you informed about the many opportunities our children have to learn and grow with love. If you would like to know more or arrange a visit, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

All the best,
Tomás McKee
