Welcome to St Columba’s N.S. at the heart of North Strand.

The school seeks to provide a climate in which pupils experience a sense of caring and belonging and of being treated fairly.
Please explore our website to learn about life in our school and the people who make it a very special place in which to learn and teach. We hope that you can find whatever information you need from the website, but if you would like to contact us, please use the details in our contact section.
