St Brendan's College

"A key feature of this school is the happiness and contentment of the school community."

Inspector Richard Coughlan - Whole School Evaluation www.education.ie April 26th 2007

Our school is student friendly, student centred and a pleasant place to be. It will be your home away from home for a considerable amount of time each day. For that reason we have upgraded some of the school's facilities this year to include a school canteen and extra seating for the students during break time. This effort at improving student facilities is on going and further developments will be completed shortly.

The Minister was given a guard of honour by the pupils and the building was also blessed by the Bishop of Killala, Dr Fleming.
