Well done to our Third and Fourth Class girls on their amazing achievements in their races. They are among the top 20 fastest runners in Offaly. They were presented with medals from Offaly Sports Partnership.
We were thrilled to receive a generous donation from our local Tesco from their Community Fund. The money was raised from their token collection. The donation r will go towards resources for An Cuan. Thank you Tesco.
Well done to Sarah and Samantha for participating in the Most Enterprising Student Awards in the Tullamore Court Hotel. It was really exciting to see all the budding entrepreneurs and they all had fantastic ideas. They also paid a visit to the Radio 3 studios where they spoke with Will Faulkner about their creations. |
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
