st. raphaela's primary school
St. Raphaela’s is a Catholic school family, under the Trusteeship of the
Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus that welcomes children from all faiths
and none to our school. Our Primary school is located within beautiful campus
grounds in Stillorgan. We enjoy wonderful green spaces and share our campus
facilities with St.Raphaela’s Secondary School and Convent. Each child that
joins us in St. Raphaela’s is given the opportunity to grow and develop in a
happy, nurturing and supportive environment. We have a long established
tradition of excellence across all areas of education and pupil development.
Maria Doheny is our Deputy Principal and together we are proud to lead a school
that is committed to “nurturing minds to think, hands to create and hearts to
love”. Our teachers take great pride in celebrating individual pupil talents,
abilities and learning styles daily. At St. Raphaela’s, our school day and ethos
is rooted in a strong living faith. Guided by our values we promote respect for
ourselves and others and an understanding of personal and social responsibility.
We encourage each child to have a sense of wonder and joy, a willingness to take
chances, and learn from their experience. With this, our children develop
confidence in their own ability and ultimately recognise their power to effect
change in their lives and the world around them.
