Vision Statement: Scoil Eimhín Naofa is a Catholic School. We are committed to:-

The development of each child's spiritual, intellectual, emotional, creative and physical potential |
|
The promotion of a caring child centred learning environment influenced by the teaching and example of Jesus Christ - cultivating Christian values, respect, self-esteem and co-operation |
|
Showing special care for the less privileged and those at risk |
|
Making the school a centre of excellence in which high professional standards are maintained, developing partnership between teaching staff, ancillary staff, parents, management and the "local community" |
Book Rental: There is a Book Rental Scheme in operation in the school. A dedicated group of parents and people associated with the school work hard in the administration of this facility. It has huge benefits for the pupils who pay a fee for the use of the books each year which is less costly than individual purchase of books. The cost in this school year is 25 euro.
