We are a mixed national school, located on the outskirts of Killarney town, on the main Cork/Killarney road, 4km from Killarney town centre. At present we have 277 students enrolled at our school. We have 11 main stream teachers, 3 SET posts and 4 special needs assistants. Our principal is Mr. Conor Gleeson and our deputy principal is Ellen Cagney. Our facilities have been boosted with two new, modern classrooms and one new S.E.T room. A new sensory room is being created to enhance the learning experiences of our pupils.

This School believes that every child is a gifted child. We cherish all children equally. Here we are committed to encouraging children to develop the talent that is latent in each one of them. In the wholesome, happy atmosphere that we strive to provide, children will develop a sense of respect and responsibility, a love of God and one another, a joy in life, a thirst for knowledge, a commitment to doing their best and a pride in themselves, their work, their school and their country.

Each child will learn to say with conviction:
"I can make a difference".
