During March we celebrated Seachtain na Gaeilge in St. Philomena's N.S. The girls took part in many activities such as tráth na gceist, lá na gcluichí, céilí, lá glas, baking as gaeilge, art and writing competitions, gaeilgeoir an lae, frása an lae and also a school radio. Well done to all the girls who took part with great enthusiasm. Míle buíochas also to Frank and Mary Brennan who played some polkas for us to dance to in the yard. We had great fun! Take a look at our video below of some of the action from Seachtain na Gaeilge. |
St. Philomena's G.N.S.Welcome to our website. Message from the Principal
I feel humbled and honoured to write this message as the newly appointed principal of St. Philomena’s N.S. I have been a member of the St. Phil’s staff for the past 14 years and I can honestly say that I have loved every day working in the school. As a Clara woman starting out in a Tullamore school in September 2008, I didn’t quite know how I would be received but I knew instantly that I had landed somewhere very special. The ethos of St. Philomena’s is grounded in respect, tolerance, openness and honesty and as a staff, we work hard at building relationships with each other, with the pupils and their families. My aim as principal is to ensure that every child feels valued coming in the school gates in the morning and that more than anything else, every child wants to come to school with us. In our school, Every Child Counts or No Child Counts and I will make it my main aim to foster a commitment to equality of opportunity for every pupil, every day. I will strive for a healthy, positive learning and working environment for the staff and our pupils and to provide a space where well-being will blossom naturally. As parent(s)/ guardian(s), you are the primary educators of your child/ren, so please don’t be afraid to come in and talk to us if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child/ren. Together, we can do so much more! With Love, Geraldine Gaffey Archives
