Welcome

As the Principal of Coláiste Aindriú, I am proud to lead a community where every student is known and valued. Our small size is one of our greatest strengths, allowing us to provide personalised attention and a nurturing environment for each child. Our inclusive environment ensures that every student’s unique ability and strengths are recognised and nurtured. Our dedicated staff works closely with families to create tailored learning opportunities and experiences that promote growth, confidence, and success. We look forward to partnering with you in your child’s educational journey

What is happening this week in our school

Well done to our Transition Year students who have been completing an 8-week Yellow Belt Taekwondo programme. Under the expert guidance of instructor Guy Jones, students developed their fitness, discipline, and self-defence skills while working towards their Yellow Belt. Their dedication and progress over the weeks has been fantastic to see. A great achievement by all involved—congratulations everyone!
A huge thank you to Pat Meaney from Mount Lucas Construction Training, who spent several days onsite this week delivering NZEB Training Workshops to our senior students. Students gained valuable insights into the use of energy from renewable sources, ventilation, retrofit insulation skills, passive house principles, external wall insulation, and much more, all relevant to both domestic and non-domestic building. We really appreciate the time and expertise shared by Pat – an excellent learning experience for all involved! #NZEB #ConstructionTraining #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #STEMEducation
Our 3rd Year Science students made the most of today’s glorious sunshine as they took their learning outdoors, engaging in a hands-on habitat study 🌿🔍 A fantastic way to explore science in the real world! #juniorcyclescience #ExcellenceInEducation
Four of our incredible TY students – Caitlin, Rebecca, Calleigh and Hayley – proudly represented our school today at SETU Waterford. They showcased the fantastic work they’ve been doing with Young Saint Vincent de Paul throughout the year. It was a brilliant day, and they truly did us proud! Well done girls! 👏👏
What a day for our TY students at Causey Farm. From baking their own homemade bread to splashing through muddy puddles and bogs — there was no shortage of laughs and adventure! A fantastic team-building experience filled with fun, friendship, and memories that will last a lifetime 🙌 #TYLife #TeamBuilding #OutdoorLearning #MakingMemories
La vie est belle! Our 1st years were busy planting strawberries, tomatoes, carrots, and coriander in the polytunnel today along with bee friendly aubretia and summer perennials. Life is made of small joys 💚
