Ethos
Our Ethos
Scoil Naomh Áine is a Catholic Primary School under the patronage of the Bishop of Ferns. It promotes a Catholic ethos, while welcoming and respecting the values of children of all denominations.
We in Scoil Naomh Áine subscribe to the aims of education:
- To enable the child to live a full life as a child and to realise his or her potential as a unique individual.
- To enable the child to develop as a social being through living and co-operating with others and so contribute to the good of society.
- To prepare the child for further education and lifelong learning. (Revised Primary School Curriculum)
School Philosophy
Our aim is to impart Christian values and standards within a constructive learning environment.
We endaeavour to ensure that the individuality of the child is accommodated while acknowledging the right of each child to education in a supportive and encouraging environment.
Our code of discipline shows caring and concern for each child and we nurture self-esteem, self-respect and respect for others.
We encourage the active learning of each child at his/her own pace.
We strive to provide a well ordered, caring, happy and secure atmosphere
where the intellectual, spiritual, physical, moral and cultural needs of the pupil are identified and addressed.
School Facilities
Interactive White Boards/Computers/iPads
Scoil Naomh Áine is at the forefront of technology.
Every classroom has an interactive white board.
They open up educational possibilities and there are endless resources available on the internet to make our teaching varied and interesting. They are a fantastic resource.
Some of the classrooms have four computers, but we now have numerous laptops for the children to use to reinforce classroom topics and research on the internet for projects etc.
We have 20 iPads that are timetabled for every class to use which again are a valuable resource for accessing educational apps and the internet for research.
The Learning Support Room also has an iPad.
Our Play and Sports Grounds
Scoil Naomh Áine is very fortunate to have a large area of grass.
This is divided into pitches for each class group where they play soccer or football during break times.
We have a large concrete area where the children love to skip.
The children are provided with skipping ropes, hula hoops, balls, beanbags and rackets and balls at break time.
The yard is painted with hopscotch, mazes and foot trails for the children to play on.
There are sand boxes for the younger children to play with and we also have a basketball court.
