Welcome from our Principal

 

Bishop Shanahan N.S. is a co-educational school nestled in the heart of Templeogue. Our aim is to provide a happy, safe environment where our pupils can learn and grow with their friends. Our staff ensure that each child is valued for their uniqueness and is nurtured to reach their full potential. To achieve this we recognise the importance of parents working collaboratively with us to ensure that children grow to be happy, fulfilled and confident. At BSNS we are proud of our entire school community for creating a warm, inclusive atmosphere and positive, supportive learning environment.

 

Finally, I would like you to know that my door is always open and I welcome your suggestions, comments or questions. Thank you for your continued commitment and support for our school.
