A Warm Welcome from the Principal
Welcome to the Owenbeg National School website! We’re excited to give you a glimpse into the life of our vibrant school and the wonderful activities and initiatives that make us unique.
Our motto, ‘Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí’—‘Praise the youth and they will flourish’—captures the heart of our approach. At Owenbeg, we believe in nurturing every aspect of a child’s development. We create a positive and inclusive environment where students feel valued, safe, and inspired to reach their full potential, meeting their intellectual, spiritual, physical, moral, and cultural needs.
We take great pride in fostering a lifelong love of learning in our students, offering them not just academic growth but opportunities to thrive in all areas. Sport is a big part of school life here, and we actively participate in Football, Athletics, Basketball, Soccer, Dance and Swimming.
In addition to sports, our students engage in a variety of enriching activities such as Peace Proms, Christmas concerts and carol services, Wellbeing initiatives, STEM fairs, Seachtain na Gaeilge, student council and cultural initiatives like Europe Day, and eTwinning. These programmes help our students develop a broad range of skills and interests, both inside and outside the classroom.
Our website will give you a flavour of all these activities and more, so take a look around and discover the vibrant community here at Owenbeg NS. We hope you enjoy your visit!
Warm regards,
Fionnuala Ruane
