Our Ethos

Scoil Cholmcille is a Roman Catholic School which aims at promoting the full and harmonious development of all aspects of the person of the pupil – physical, intellectual, cultural, moral and spiritual, including a living relationship with God and with other people.

Our School Crest

It was one evening during the great Battle of the Boyne, St. James fled from the battle scene by horse. As he galloped through Mount Hanover his horse lost a shoe. Having nowhere to stay St. James took shelter in Mount Hanover house. It is from here we get the horseshoe, while the books and the quill represent the hard work in the school down through the years!
