St. Damian's School

About

St. Damian’s National School is a vibrant primary school serving children from Junior Infants to 6th class in the Perrystown area of Dublin 12. The school provides a balanced curriculum that blends literacy, numeracy and a strong emphasis on the arts, science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Regular activities such as AR reading quizzes, class trips to cultural sites like the Civic Theatre and Kilmainham Gaol, and a school garden project support experiential learning and foster curiosity beyond the classroom. The school maintains clear policies on health, safety and child protection, and promotes a healthy lifestyle through a daily snack programme and a uniform policy that encourages modest, practical attire. Facilities include dedicated classroom spaces for each class, a well‑maintained garden for horticultural activities, and access to nearby sportswear suppliers for school sportswear. Community involvement is encouraged through book donation schemes, after‑school activities, and active communication with parents via newsletters and a school blog.
