Fáilte ón bPríomhoide/ Principal’s Welcome
A chairde,
Tá fáilte mhór romhaibh chuig suíomh gréasáin Coláiste Chnoc na Labhras – scoil iar-bhunscoile lán-Ghaeilge atá bródúil as a hoidhreacht teanga, a caighdeáin arda teagaisc, agus a tiomantas don fhoghlaim den scoth. Is scoil bhríomhar fhoghlama í ár scoil ina ndéantar an Ghaeilge a shaothrú go nádúrtha agus go laethúil mar mheán cumarsáide, agus mar bhunús le gach gné dár n-oideachas. Creidimid go láidir i gcumhacht an tumoideachais – ní hamháin chun scileanna teanga den scoth a fhorbairt, ach freisin chun machnamh criticiúil, féinmhuinín agus tuiscint dhomhain ar ár gcultúr a chothú.
At our core, we are committed to excellence in teaching and learning. Our dedicated and passionate staff work tirelessly to ensure that every student reaches their full potential – academically, socially, and personally. Through a broad and balanced curriculum, innovative methodologies, and a strong pastoral care system, we nurture each young person in a holistic and supportive environment. The benefits of immersion education can be seen throughout the school - the cognitive benefits, the communicative versatility of our students, the academic excellence and the variety of employment opportunities our students are offered.
Tá sé mar sprioc againn daltaí a spreagadh chun bheith ina bhfoghlaimeoirí gníomhacha, ina gceannairí muiníneacha, agus ina saoránaigh chultúrtha atá bródúil as a dteanga agus a n-oidhreacht. Le chéile, cruthaímid timpeallacht ina bhfuil meas, comhionannas agus sármhaitheas ag croílár gach a ndéanaimid. Más dalta ionchasach, tuismitheoir, nó cuairteoir thú, tá súil agam go dtugann an suíomh seo léargas duit ar spiorad na scoile agus ar an gcaighdeán ard a gcuirimid romhainn a bhaint amach gach lá.
Here in Laurel Hill Coláiste FCJ, we celebrate a tradition that goes back 90 years, and we look to the future with further expansion in conjunction with the Department of Education. We invite you to browse our school website and follow the links to our social media platforms to get an insight into our school and all that is has to offer.
I gcompánchas agus le gach dea-ghuí,
Úna Uí Ghríofa
Príomhoide / Principal
Fáilte ón bPríomhoide Tánaisteach/ Deputy Principal’s Welcome
A chairde/ Dear friends,
Is mór an onóir domsa, mar Leas-Phríomhoide, fáilte chroíúil a chur romhaibh chuig suíomh gréasáin ár scoile – pobal bríomhar, fuinniúil agus ceolmhar ina mbíonn teanga, cairdeas agus barr feabhais acadúil ag croílár gach rud a dhéanaimid.
It is a great honour for me, as Deputy Principal, to extend a heartfelt welcome to the website of our school – a vibrant, energetic, and harmonious community where language, friendship, and academic excellence are at the heart of all we do.
Tá an scoil s’againne bródúil as a traidisiún láidir san oideachas trí mheán na Gaeilge, áit a gcuirimid ár ndaltaí i lár an aonaigh. Le tacaíocht ónár bhfoireann thiomanta agus ó na tuismitheoirí, spreagtar na scoláirí faoinár gcúram chun a gcuid tallainne agus acmhainne a fhorbairt go hiomlán, i dtimpeallacht ina bhfuil meas, cairdeas agus comhobair lárnach.
Our school is proud of its strong tradition of Irish-medium education, where our students are placed at the centre of everything. With the support of our dedicated staff and parents, the young people in our care are encouraged to develop their talents and potential fully, in an environment where respect, friendship, and collaboration are central.
Ceann de na gnéithe is láidre dár scoil ná spiorad an chompánachais atá le brath anseo gach lá. Tá meas ag ár ndaltaí ar a chéile, ar a múinteoirí, agus ar an bpobal níos leithne – rud a léirítear i ngach imeacht scoile, idir chlubanna, spóirt, ealaíona agus thionscadail pobail.
One of the strongest features of our school is the deep sense of companionship felt here every day. Our students show respect for one another, for their teachers, and for the wider community – a value clearly visible in every school activity, from clubs and sports to the arts and community initiatives.
Creidimid go bhfuil forbairt phearsanta chomh tábhachtach céanna le forbairt acadúil, agus táimid tiomanta do thimpeallacht a chothú ina mbíonn gach scoláire muiníneach as a guth féin.
We believe that personal growth is just as important as academic success, and we are committed to nurturing an environment in which every student has the confidence to use their own voice.
Léiríonn na torthaí acadúla den scoth a ghnóthaíonn ár ndaltaí gach bliain an t-ardchaighdeán múinteoireachta agus foghlama a chleachtaítear anseo. Tá ár gcáilíochtaí bainte amach againn - ní amháin trínár gcuraclam láidir, ach trí chultúr measa ar obair chrua, nuálaíocht agus uaillmhian.
The outstanding academic results achieved by our students each year reflect the high standard of teaching and learning practised here. Our achievements are not only the result of a strong curriculum, but also of a culture that values hard work, innovation, and ambition.
Mar leas-phríomhoide, is ábhar misnigh dom a bheith ag obair le foireann agus le pobal atá chomh tiomanta don bharr feabhais agus don fholláine iomlán. Táimid ag súil go mór leis an todhchaí, agus le leanúint leis an traidisiún iontach atá tógtha ag na glúnta roimhe seo – traidisiún a bhfuil an Ghaeilge, an cairdeas agus an léann mar chroí ann.
As Deputy Principal, I take great pride in working with a team and a community so deeply committed to excellence and to the holistic wellbeing of our students. We look forward to the future with confidence, continuing the proud tradition built by generations before us – a tradition with Irish, friendship, and learning at its heart.
Go raibh maith agaibh as cuairt a thabhairt orainn, agus tá súil againn go bhfaighidh sibh blaiseadh den spiorad álainn atá ag croílár ár scoile.
Thank you for visiting our site. We hope you gain a sense of the special spirit that lies at the heart of our unique school.
Le gach dea-ghuí / With every good wish,
Marinella Ní Reachtaire,
Leas-Phríomhoide
