Message from the Principal of Scoil Samhthann

16th Feb 2026
Dear Parents/Guardians,

I am delighted to write to you as the newly appointed Principal of our school. It is a privilege to join such a dedicated and supportive community and I would like to extend my sincere thanks to pupils, staff and families for the warm welcome I have received since taking up my role.

I look forward to working closely with you in partnership to support the educational, personal and social development of all our pupils. The wellbeing, safety and progress of every child remain at the centre of all that we do and I am committed to fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment where each pupil is encouraged to achieve his or her full potential.

Strong collaboration between home and school is essential to the success of our children and I value open and respectful communication with parents and guardians. By working together, we can continue to build on the strengths of our school and provide the very best opportunities for the children in our care.
Should you wish to contact me, please do so through the school secretary, who will be happy to arrange an appointment or forward your query.

I look forward to meeting and working with you throughout the coming years.

Yours sincerely,

Ciara Kearney
Principal
