St Columbkille's P.S. caters for the educational needs of approximately 300 primary and pre-school children. We have 26 places in our long established full-time Nursery and 16 places in Naíscoil Colmcille our Irish-medium pre-school provider. An Irish-medium  unit was added to the existing provision in 2003 and caters for children from Rang a hAon to Rang a Seacht.   A new school building has been approved by the Department of Education and is planned to open in 2011.
As a Catholic school, our overriding aim is to establish and foster Christian values for life. To do this it is essential that we work in partnership with our parents and the parish community. To this end we have established a very effective Home /School Association "Friends of St Columbkille's" and After-School Care provision with Camowen Partnership
