Values and Vision
St Columba’s is a school of Church of Ireland faith and ethos, but also prides itself on welcoming students from all other faiths. It is a place of high academic aspiration that creates students who are well-rounded individuals and suitably prepared for a successful future.
The school is full of state-of-the-art equipment to help learners in the education and extracurricular activities. It is perhaps the school chapel however, from the 1880s that is the heart of the school, as the one time the whole school meet together every day.
