As the Principal of St. Brigid’s
College Callan, it gives me great pleasure to welcome
you to our web site. This web site should give you some
impression of life in St. Brigid’s College. It would
be impossible to set out the whole myriad of activities
that go on in our school but hopefully the sense of a
happy, productive and caring community is evident. It
is this wonderful sense of community, the vitality of
the staff and students and the support of parents that
makes St. Brigid’s unique. Amongst the positive
attributes that the school strives to promote are truthfulness,
honour, respect for others and oneself, integrity, tolerance,
compassion and justice, a sense of spirit, engendering
a sense of belonging, mutual support and togetherness.
Obviously, academic achievement is important and our commitment
to this segment of the education process is evidenced
by the excellent results achieved each year by our Junior
and Leaving Certificate students. This reflects not just
the hard work and effort put in by our students and dedicated
teaching staff but also the partnership involving parents
who take and interest in, and responsibility for, their
children’s education. However, we recognise that
academic achievement alone does not guarantee a rounded,
balanced, fulfilled adult life. It is with this recognition
that the school places much emphasis on such areas as
the appreciation of music and art, drama, sport and a
wide variety of extra curricular activities.
This is only made possible through the generosity of our
staff who willingly volunteer extra time in order to provide
the best possible education for our students. The professionalism
and generosity of the staff ensures the highest standards
in all aspects of school life. As a school we are committed
to providing quality education to our students. The school
is dedicated to
imparting to them strong moral values, a love of learning,
concern for others and the skills necessary to lead purposeful
and meaningful lives in their communities.
