About
Scoil Naomh Dubhthach is a Gaeltacht primary school situated in the coastal village of Machaire Uí Rabhartaigh, County Donegal. As an Irish‑medium institution it delivers the national curriculum entirely through the Irish language, fostering fluency and cultural continuity for pupils from junior infants to sixth class. The school places a strong emphasis on holistic development, integrating academic learning with creative and extracurricular activities such as drama, music and sport. A dedicated drama club, highlighted by the An Cumann Scoildrámaíochta, provides regular performances and workshops, while the school’s newsletter and annual calendar keep the community informed of events and milestones. The campus includes modern classrooms equipped for interactive learning, specialist spaces for art and music, and outdoor play areas that support physical education and environmental awareness. Support services are readily available through an online absence form and a dedicated Covid‑19 information page, ensuring clear communication with families. Additional resources such as useful links, a school diary (féilire) and a collection of useful contacts (naisc úsáideach) further enhance the supportive learning environment for pupils and parents alike.
