Mission
Ballycanew National School Mission
Ballycanew National School Mission reflects our commitment to providing a caring, inclusive, and high-quality learning environment for all pupils. The Ballycanew National School Mission guides everything we do across teaching, learning, and school life. Ballycanew National School is a co-educational, Catholic, primary school, which strives to provide a well ordered, caring, happy and secure atmosphere where the intellectual, spiritual, physical, moral and cultural needs of the pupils are identified and addressed. The Ballycanew National School Mission ensures that every child is supported in a safe, respectful, and nurturing environment where they can learn and grow.
While Ballycanew N.S. is a school with a Catholic ethos, it also gives due recognition to all other religions.
Ballycanew N.S will encourage the involvement of parents through home/school contacts and through their involvement in the Ballycanew Parent’s Association.
Ballycanew N.S will endeavour to enhance the self-esteem of everyone in the school community, to imbue in the pupils respect for people and property and to encourage in them the idea of being responsible and self-reliant.
Ballycanew N.S will promote gender equality amongst the teachers and pupils.
The school motto is: Ag obair le chéile
