Principal
The pursuit of pride in our cultural and linguistic heritage together withthe attainment
of a quality education were the two main ideals which shaped the thinking of those
responsible for the foundation of Coláiste Chilliain in 1981. The college has been a
proud model for many all-Irish schools throughout the country in the years since its
establishment.
Students are challenged to reflect on their nobility as a
people, on their loyalty to their Irish heritage and on their self respect to produce
reliable,honest, responsible and educated young people who will confidently take their
place in a pluralist society as Irish citizens.
The educational philosophy of
Coláiste Chilliain succeeds and the past students who have spent six years with us are a
testament to this. We can all, students, teachers and parents look forward to a bright
but challenging future but one where we can say “Ár nDúchas Slán”.
This
website will give you some idea of the work being carried out in Coláiste Chilliain as
well as an indication of the wonderful atmosphere that can be experienced in the
school.
The site is a window through which one “can” view the dedication of
our staff, the feats of our students and the loyal input of our parents all under the
direction of the Board of Management. One can observe a modern building with the latest
teaching facilities, practical rooms fitted out with the best of equipment and the way
that the school focuses on Information Technology as an effective way to communicate the
broadest possible curriculum.
We are very grateful to our patrons Dublin and
Dún Laoghaire Education and Training Board for their dedication, their direction,
cooperation and continuous support.
I welcome you to our
school.
Le Gach Dea-Ghuí,
Feargal Ó Giolláin
