Welcome to the website of St. Colmcille’s S.N.S., Knocklyon

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the website of St. Colmcille’s S.N.S. Our goal is to foster a love of learning, encourage curiosity and support the development of every child’s unique talent and ability. We place great emphasis on building positive relationships among pupils, parents and staff.

At St. Colmcille’s S.N.S., we believe that education is a partnership between school, family and the community. Together, we create a space where students feel safe, supported, valued and motivated to achieve their best. Our dedicated staff works hard to cultivate not only academic success but also social and emotional growth.

We are a Restorative School and our school motto is “Treat others as you would like to be treated”. When conflict arises, we aim to resolve matters in a healthy manner which moves us away from blame towards healing harm. This process is guided by a set of restorative questions that encourage students to reflect on their actions and learn from their experiences.

Please explore our website to learn more about what makes our school a place of joy, learning and opportunity.
