Welcome to Coláiste éinde

backdrop for today’s vibrant school community with its first-rate facilities and
an atmosphere within which each student can fulfil his or her own potential.
Our Catholic ethos is an intrinsic component of our school life. A spirit of care

academic, social, physical and moral development. In striving to recognize
and meet the needs of each individual student and the educational
requirements of society, Coláiste Éinde actively embraces new pedagogies.
The success of Coláiste Éinde students in their academic endeavors as well as
