Welcome to the official home page of Ballinacarriga National School

Ballinacarriga National School is a mixed primary school situated to the South East of Dunmanway town. We aim to create a school where all children are valued and respected in a happy, secure and challenging environment.

We currently have 79 children enrolled in our school. We have 3 classroom teachers, 1 Special Education Teacher, 1 visiting teacher, 2 Special Needs Assistants and a secretary.

We are an active school that participates in many sports such as football, hurling, camogie, rugby, swimming, dance, basketball, kid-athlons and soccer. We have 3 Green Flags and are working towards the fourth Travel Flag. We also have the Junior Entrepreneur flag and Active flag. We take part in many other activities such as debating, quizzes, yoga, meditation, tin whistle, guitar, dance, Christmas musicals/plays, carol services and many more.

This school year 2017/18, we are concentrating on improving our Positive Mental Health and hoping to achieve the Amber Flag which promotes Positive Mental Health in schools, clubs and organisations.

A Note from the Principal, Róisín Hurley.

As principal of Ballinacarriga NS, I am so appreciative of the hard work and goodwill of the parents, pupils, staff, Parents Association and Board of Management. I would like to thank them for their continued support.
