It is a real privilege to serve as Deputy Principal of Ard Scoil na nDéise, a school with a proud tradition of care, ambition, and community spirit. From the moment I joined, I was struck by the strong sense of belonging that defines daily life here. Every student is known, supported, and encouraged to grow into her best self, and the pride our staff and students take in their school is clear to see each day.
Working alongside a dedicated staff and vibrant student body, I’m excited to help shape the next chapter in the school’s journey. As a CEIST school, our values guide everything we do and learning goes far beyond the classroom. Whether through friendships, creativity, sport, or academic achievement, our aim is to help each young person find her place and her voice.
I am based in the Junior Building, where our First, Second and Third Year students are located. One of my priorities is supporting our youngest students as they settle into secondary school life. We know how important those early years are, and we are committed to helping each student feel welcome, included, and confident from day one.
At Ard Scoil na nDéise, learning is about more than results it’s about forming confident, curious, and compassionate young women who will make a difference in the world. If you’re considering Ard Scoil na nDéise for your daughter, I understand that choice matters. I encourage you to explore what we offer, a fresh energy, strong values, and a commitment to helping every student feel she belongs.
