At Ballinkillen N.S., we are incredibly proud of our warm, dedicated team. Each person—whether in the classroom or behind the scenes—plays a vital role in creating a positive, nurturing environment where every child can thrive. Our teachers bring not only professionalism and skill, but also genuine care and enthusiasm to their work each day.
We are also very fortunate to have a wonderful Additional Needs Assistant (ANA), whose kindness, patience, and support make a real difference in the lives of our pupils. Our school secretary is the friendly face that greets every visitor and keeps our busy school running smoothly with calm efficiency and a generous spirit.
Together, we are more than just colleagues—we are a team that values respect, laughter, and collaboration. At the heart of everything we do is a shared commitment to the wellbeing and success of every child in our care.
