Welcome

Fáilte go Coláiste na Carraige. Here you will find a rich resource of information about our school.

Coláiste na Carraige are an ETB School. We are State, Co-educational, and Multi-denominational, underpinned by the core values of:

  • Excellence in Education / Barr Feabhais san Oideachas

  • Care / Cúram

  • Equality / Comhionannas

  • Community / Pobal

  • Respect / Meas

Our school crest depicts the twin parishes of Gleann Cholm Cille and Cill Chartha through the representation of the Martello Tower and the Oak leaf of Derrylahan. Connecting both parishes is the school, represented in our crest by a book of knowledge.

Coláiste na Carraige has a proud tradition of achievement in all aspects of Saol na Scoile including Sport, Academia and the Arts. Above all, we value the person.

Coláiste na Carraige is a community of learners and our students are rewarded with an excellent education and a varied extra-curricular life. Mar phríomhoide na scoile, I am proud to lead an excellent team, that holds our core values in high esteem and who support our students as they journey through this very important time in their lives.

Is pobal scoile í Coláiste na Carraige atá ag tabhairt faoin athrú ó scoil lán-Béarla go scoil lán-Ghaeilge. Tabharfaidh an taithí seo níos mó deiseanna do na daltaí sa tríú leibhéal agus cuirfidh sé leis an mheas atá acu ar ár dteanga dhúchais agus cultúr.  Tabharfaidh an t-athrú seo todhchaí níos gile do gach duine agus muid uilig, ag obair le chéile, ag baint úsáide as ár dteanga ar bhealaí beaga gach lá. Mar seo, tá an suíomh seo déanta lenár úsáid nádúrtha den dhá theanga a chur in iúl.

Coláiste na Carraige is a school community, undertaking the challenge of transition from an English medium school to an Irish one. This experience will afford our students greater opportunities in third level and enhance their appreciation of our native language and culture. All of us, working together, using our language every day in little ways, will secure a brighter future for everyone. For this reason we have developed our website to reflect our natural use of both languages.
