Mission Statement
S.N. Cill Conla is a co-educational Catholic Primary School under the patronage of the Bishop of Kerry. The school models and promotes a philosophy of life inspired by a belief in God and in the life of Jesus Christ.
While S.N. Cill Conla is a school with a Catholic ethos, we welcome and we afford due recognition to other religions and indeed to children of no particular religion.
The educational, spiritual, moral and physical needs of each child will be identified and developed with compassion, enthusiasm and due regard for each child’s individuality and uniqueness.
