Community School Mission Statement
Gallen Community School is a caring and Christian Community,
committed to quality and excellence in education and central
to this is our motto "Creideamh agus Cultur".
In this environment of faith and nurturing we aim to share
with parents the spiritual, moral and intellectual formation
of their children. We pursue an educational programme, which
is broad, balanced and challenging. We pursue a pastoral
care system, which encourages self esteem and promotes a
sense of personal and social responsibility. Our goal is
the informed student who prizes truth, appreciated the value
of learning and is mature and honourable.
