OUR SCHOOL

Scoil Muire Banríon (Edenderry BNS) is a Catholic primary school, under the patronage of the Catholic bishop of Kildare and Leighlin and with a Catholic ethos:

(a) Each human being is created in God's image. (b) He has a life to lead and a soul to be saved. (c) All people are equal in the eyes of God – each is entitled to an equal chance of obtaining optimum personal fulfilment.

Education is therefore, concerned not only with life but with the meaning of life.
