Mission Statement of St. Andrew's National School

St. Andrew’s is a co-educational Catholic primary school which strives to provide a well-ordered caring, happy and secure environment for all of our pupils in which they are encouraged and supported to reach their full potential.
 
While St. Andrew’s N.S. is a school with a Catholic ethos, it also has due recognition for all other religions.
 
We promote an atmosphere where each student enjoys coming to school, is happy working here and feels that they belong to a caring school community.
 
We foster a love of education in a disciplined and safe atmosphere where the children are enthusiastic and active in their approach to learning for life.
 
We endeavour to enhance the self-esteem of everyone in the school community, to imbue in the pupils respect for themselves, for other people, and to encourage the development of personal responsibility and personal growth.
 
St Andrew’s N.S. encourages the involvement of parents/guardians in their children’s education through home/school contacts and through their involvement in the Parents’ Association.
