About
Monagea National School is a Catholic primary school situated in Monagea, Newcastle West, Co. Limerick. Operating under the patronage of the Bishop of Limerick and guided by a Board of Management, the school delivers a faith‑based curriculum that integrates the doctrines, practices and traditions of the Roman Catholic Church while remaining welcoming to pupils of other religious backgrounds. Central to its ethos is the “Grow in Love” programme, which supports the spiritual formation of children and prepares them for the sacraments of Penance, Holy Communion and Confirmation. Daily life is enriched with opportunities for prayer, liturgical celebrations and a strong emphasis on kindness, inclusion and respect for diversity. The school’s educational approach is holistic, aiming to develop each child’s spiritual, academic, social, physical, creative and emotional potential. A broad range of initiatives—including a school garden, STEM projects, the Literacy Lift‑Off programme, Accelerated Reader, Aistear early childhood framework and a Health‑Promoting School agenda—provide varied learning experiences beyond the classroom. Facilities support a full‑day schedule (Monday‑Friday, 9 am‑3 pm) and are complemented by a preschool, after‑school programme and dedicated spaces for extracurricular activities, fostering a vibrant, inclusive community where every pupil can thrive.
