Welcome to St. Macartan’s National School
A Note from the Principal of St. Macartan’s
Fáilte chuig suíomh idirlion Scoil Macartain Naofa, Bundobhráin!
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the St. Macartan’s NS website. We hope that this medium will enhance communication between the school and current parents, prospective parents and the wider community. The site is still in its infancy, but over time we hope that it will evolve into a well-stocked and up to date information source.
Suggestions on improvements are always welcome!
Thanking you all for your continued co-operation,
Ronan Tighe.
Background to St. Macartan’s
St. Macartan’s NS began in its current form in 1979 as a result of the amalgamation of St. Louis Convent NS (Founded 1892) and St. Macartan’s Boys NS (Founded 1953).
It is a Catholic co-educational, vertical primary school under the patronage of Most Rev. Liam S. McDaid, Bishop of Clogher. It is located in Magh Ene Parish, and the Parish Priest, Canon Ramon Munster is the Chairperson of the Board of Management.
The current enrolment is 258, 137 girls and 121 boys. It has twenty full-time and part-time staff.
St. Macartan’s is the only primary school in Bundoran, a seaside town in South Donegal, and is located in the centre of the town on Sheil Avenue.
In St. Macartan’s we strive 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 school aims to promote the full and harmonious development of all pupils including a living relationship with God and other people and promotes a Christian philosophy of life.
