School Principal

“Goatstown/Stillorgan ETNS strives to make children confident and creative builders of their own futures. We are committed to providing learning experiences that will assist our students to achieve their greatest potential to adapt and adjust to a diverse and ever changing world. The students are encouraged to meet academic challenges with openness, enthusiasm, and a willingness to solve problems. We aim for an atmosphere of cooperation and collaboration, with respect for individual differences and the understanding that diversity of gender, physical or mental ability, culture, and background is a strength to be respected. We strive in cooperation with parents and the whole school community to provide a holistic education in a caring and secure environment where each child is encouraged to achieve to the best of their ability. An important part of our school approach is the philosophy of ‘Restorative Practices’ as a way of building and maintaining relationships, which in turn will lead to positive outcomes for the health and well-being of our community. “
