Part of the Community
The school is deeply integrated into the island community. Students actively participant in, and host local events, such as “Féile na bPuachachaí” “Tae na Samhna”, “Cead”, a sport unique to Inis Méain which is played only on St Patrick’s Day and of course our infamous Inis Iron Meáin race.
While living on the island students can explore and enjoy local amenities such as our beautiful beaches, the football pitch, ancient historical sites, the community centre, and flora and fauna, many of which are rare. There is also a shop, a post office, and seasonal cafes which students can avail of.
