About
Clontuskert National School is a vibrant primary school serving the rural community of Clontuskert, County Galway. The school offers a broad, child‑centred curriculum that blends traditional Irish values with contemporary learning experiences. Emphasis is placed on active participation, environmental stewardship and cultural enrichment, as demonstrated by initiatives such as the Climate Action Committee’s air‑quality monitoring project and regular participation in local sports events like GAA football and rugby blitzes. The school’s facilities include dedicated classrooms for each class level, a well‑equipped breakfast and after‑school club, and access to nearby community venues such as the Kiltormer GAA Complex for performances and sporting activities. Regular newsletters, both seasonal and digital, keep families informed of academic progress, community celebrations and extracurricular programmes, fostering strong links between pupils, parents and the wider community. Clontuskert NS also supports a range of enrichment opportunities, from summer camps and cross‑weaving workshops to participation in Erasmus+ exchanges, encouraging pupils to develop confidence, creativity and a global outlook while remaining rooted in the local heritage of St Augustine’s parish.
