Welcome back to a new school year in Scoil Aonghusa Junior. A special welcome to the new children who joined our school this month - they are impressing us already by how quickly they have settled in. Welcome also to our  new teachers Ms Spillane, Ms Kealy, Ms Gargan, Ms O'Loughlin, Ms Meaney & Ms Boland. New staff and new children help to bring a fresh energy to our school each year. I have always been so impressed by the children who attend our school and walking around the school this September I am, as always, greeted by lots of eager, happy, inquisitive faces.

As I know you are aware, Scoil Aonghusa Junior is a school with an ethos which holds the children at its heart. The entire staff are committed to providing the highest levels of care, safety and education for the children in the school.  I became Principal of this school in September 2018, having worked here as Deputy Principal for a number of years. It is my aim to continue to build upon the secure foundations and current achievements established in the school and I feel honoured to be leading such a highly effective school. I am passionate about providing high standards of education to the children in SAJ.  I know you will continue to support our efforts in all areas during your child’s time in SAJ. I strongly believe that school is a place for children to discover and unlock their talents and skills in a fun and caring environment.


I would like to thank you personally for your continued commitment and support to the staff and pupils of the school. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries or concerns or if there is anything I can do to help and support you with your child’s learning and school life.         
                      

 Ann Marie Blake, Principal.
