About
Donaghpatrick National School is situated in the rural village of Caherlistrane, Co. Galway, offering a welcoming and secure environment where children are encouraged to learn, work and play. The school prides itself on a caring ethos, with dedicated staff focused on helping each pupil reach their full potential. A broad range of extra‑curricular activities—including football, hurling, dancing, music and a weekly activity hour—complement the academic programme and promote holistic development. The learning spaces are well‑equipped, featuring classroom libraries, interactive whiteboards, visualisers, laptops, iPads and broadband internet, together with a variety of educational software. Recent fundraising by the Parents Association has provided twelve iPads for use across the classrooms. The two‑acre campus includes a pitched playing field, a tarmac area for games, and landscaped zones with trees, shrubs and flowers, providing ample outdoor space for recreation and exploration. An after‑school care programme runs from 2 pm to 6 pm, offering a hot snack, supervised homework and indoor and outdoor activities.
