Ní neart go cur le chéile | There is strength in unity
St. Colman’s N.S. endeavours to recognise, develop and appreciate the dignity and uniqueness of each child in an atmosphere that is conductive to learning. The self-actualisation of its pupils will be facilitated through the promotion of a positive self-image and the development of a love of learning.
Provide an atmosphere that will encourage learning. Promote co-operation among pupils, parents, staff, Board of Management and the wider community. Create an environment where the dignity and the uniqueness of each child is appreciated.
It is envisaged that the learning would take place in an environment which is safe, happy and secure for both pupils and staff. Day to day interactions with the school community will reflect Christian values and instil respect for all creation.
Cappagh N.S. was built in 1975 to replace the National Schools at Kilmurry and Kilclonfert. The school buildings at Kilmurry and Kilclonfert now serve as community centres.
The school is named St. Colman’s N.S. as it is located near the well of St. Colman. Mr Ambrose Mangan has maintained the well since 1984.
