Characteristic Spirit and Objectives of Portumna Community School
As a co-educational, multi-denominational, post primary school with a strong Christian ethos, Portumna Community School seeks to build on the characteristic spirit of our patrons, The Diocese of Clonfert & Galway and Roscommon ETB. Portumna Community School was formed upon the ideals of its pioneering schools, St Brigid’s Vocational School and Portumna College to be inclusive and cater for all in our school community as set out in The Deed of Trust and Model Lease for Community Schools for the purpose of contributing towards the spiritual, moral, mental and physical well-being of the community.
Portumna Community School is dedicated to providing holistic education where the potential and uniqueness of each student is fostered and celebrated. We encourage all our students to achieve as much as their natural ability makes possible, whilst contributing to the school ethos and characteristic spirit through mutual respect, integrity, positive relationships, collaboration and engagement.
As part of a wider local community, Portumna Community School students are encouraged to develop not only as strong individuals but also as members of a strong school community; embracing citizenship and taking their place among a vibrant and often challenging society.
The staff of Portumna Community School will provide excellence in teaching and learning, while promoting individual talents and gifts by both challenging and supporting students.
