Welcome to Ballinteer Community School’s website. I hope that our website offers you an insight into our positive ethos, and warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our school first opened its doors in 1974 and has been serving the community for over 40 years. Our school campus was redeveloped and our new school building was officially re-opened in October 2008, with facilities that we are immensely proud of. We are the premier choice for prospective students in our area.
In Ballinteer Community School, we are dedicated to providing students with a vibrant educational experience in a highly collaborative, inclusive, and supportive environment. We are committed to nurturing a school that fosters a love for life-long learning and innovative practice. BCS is a bustling, inclusive community of learners who are encouraged to think critically, communicate effectively, solve problems creatively, and work independently and collaboratively. We challenge our students to act with courage, integrity, and leadership.
Our professional team of teachers and staff are actively involved in creating a stimulating, quality learning environment. Our comprehensive range of subjects caters for the needs of each individual student. Our state of the art facilities complement our broad and balanced curriculum and allow students to tap into their key strengths. Our goal is that our students reach their full potential.
There is a strong culture of partnership among all members of the school community. Parents are invited to participate in the life of the school through the Parents’ Association and various aspects of school life. We value our positive, healthy, compassionate, and student-focused relationships. Our mission statement highlights our core values of respect, inclusion, and care. This is most evident in our positive, quality teaching and learning environment.
As Principal, I am committed to education in its broadest sense. I believe in setting high expectations, in all facets of school life, so that our students may reach their full potential and both embrace and avail of every opportunity.
Welcome to the BCS Community.
Amy Doherty, Principal
