Mission Statement

Aidhm an Choláiste

Tá sé mar aidhm againn mar scoil timpeallacht a chruthú ina n-éireoidh lenar ndaltaí an mianach atá iontu a thabhairt chun críche.

Beimid ag súil leis go gcabhróidh na daltaí féin linn agus lena chéile an aidhm seo a chomhlíonadh, agus go mbainfidh siad tairbhe agus taitneamh as na blianta a chaithfidh siad anseo inár gcuideachta.

St. Flannan’s College has had a distinguished history in the field of education for well over one hundred years. That tradition continues to guide and inspire us today. We are conscious of the responsibility we take on in accepting students. We are also confident that, in an atmosphere of mutual respect and Christian good will, they will continue to grow and develop.

We hope that we will be able to help them to discover and develop personal talents and resources and to set themselves high standards of achievement and behaviour. When the time comes for them to leave St. Flannan’s, we hope that they will be able to look back on their years here with legitimate pride and satisfaction.

Rev. J. McMahon, President.
Fr Ignatius McCormack, Principal.
