Castlelack National School, Bandon, Co. Cork

Welcome

Castlelack NS is an inclusive Catholic  Primary School where families of all faiths and none  work together as members of a respectful, tolerant and friendly community.

Our aim is to help pupils to thrive and reach their academic, social, physical and emotional potential.

Our wish is that all our pupils leave Castlelack as confident individuals, successful learners and well-rounded people who can contribute effectively in secondary school and later in life.

Advantages of multi-stream learning;

Teachers get to know their pupils very well and we establish a relationship with them that is a foundation for good learning

Children develop independent learning skills and take more responsibility for their learning.

Better social skills and greater sense of empathy

Listening to the curriculum a second time especially in core curricular areas
