A welcome Note from the Principal

Welcome to the St. Maelruain’s COI National School website.

St. Maelruain’s N.S. is located opposite the Tallaght Leisure Centre in Kilclare Avenue, Jobstown. Our school is a child centred and fully inclusive national school which strives for academic excellence and aims to foster the holistic development of each student. At St. Maelruain’s everyone is encouraged and supported to reach their full academic and social potential.

We aim to create a culture in which children are safe and happy in the school environment. St. Maelruain’s provides the students with a variety of learning opportunities and initiatives in the academic, cultural and sporting areas. We view parents and the wider school community as our partners in enabling our students to enjoy and fully participate in the learning process including the sporting, cultural and scientific initiatives hosted by our school.
