Mission Statement

Scoil Eoin N.S., Balloonagh, aims to provide a happy, secure environment conducive to good behaviour in which children can develop emotionally, spiritually and academically, taking the child’s background, circumstances and ability into consideration and in due process providing them with a well balanced education in a catholic environment.
