Principal's Welcome |
|
Welcome to our school website. It is my great privilege to serve as Principal of Ballina Primary School.
In 1956, a three- teacher school opened. More than sixty years later, a seventeen-classroom school caters for 410 students and twenty-five teachers. A vibrant Board of Management, an active Parents’ Association, and motivated staff enhance the learning environment of Ballina Primary School.
Despite our growth, we cherish our friendly and welcoming atmosphere where teaching and learning is at our core. We believe our school is at the heart of the local community and fosters links, relationships and partnerships with many organisations and other schools in the area for the betterment of the pupils and their families.
While we are a Catholic school, we welcome children of all faiths and none. We strive to do the very best we can for each child to maximise their talents and to give them opportunities in sporting, scientific, environmental and cultural events. We develop an awareness of their heritage and environment through our Green School Programme and encourage our school community to be as active as possible through Active Schools activities. We recently were awarded the Discovery Primary Science Curious Minds Platinum Award and place a strong emphasis on STEM activities.
Through the support of the Board of Management, Parents’ Association, and dedicated staff, we have introduced modern information technology to advance teaching and learning. In Ballina Primary School, we continue to foster the spiritual, moral, intellectual, social, and cultural development of all our pupils in a secure and happy environment. Our motto ‘Mol an Óige agus Tiocfaidh Sí’ inspires us as we continue to provide quality teaching and learning in Ballina Primary School while always placing the wellbeing of all our school community at the heart of everything we do.
Go néirí libh.
