PRINCIPAL'S WELCOME Bhur gcéad fáilte chuig láithreán gréasáin na scoile. It is my great pleasure to welcome you to our school website which we hope will give you an idea of what life is like for us here in St. Attracta's Community School.

St. Attracta's Community School came into being through the successful amalgamation of Banada Abbey Secondary School and the Marist Convent in 2002. This school continues the work initiated by the Marist Sisters, the Sisters of Charity, Co. Sligo V.E.C. and the Diocese of Achonry, to maintain the ethos which they established in accordance with their vision of Christian Education.

We are, therefore, a Christian Community, committed to educating our students in an atmosphere of mutual respect, integrity, sincerity, honesty and tolerance in partnership with the Board of Management, teachers, parents, ancillary staff and the wider community. St. Attracta's Community School strives to create a caring environment for the holistic development of each individual.

We are blessed to have at our disposal state-of-the-art facilities in a building which was officially opened in December 2002. It was designed to provide a sense of space and to maximise the use of natural light. As the first Pilot P.P.P. (Public Private Partnership) second level school to open in the country, we benefit from having the management company, HSG Zander, run and maintain our building to the highest standards.

Of course, the building is one thing, but the people who occupy it on a daily basis are the real focus of our efforts. With almost 600 students, 45 teaching staff and 12 ancillary staff, St. Attracta's is a hive of activity. Academic life here is important but so, too, are the cultural, sporting and spiritual aspects of our students development.

We hope that this website will give you an idea of school life here in St. Attracta's. We offer a wide range of subjects in both Junior and Senior Cycles as well as an excellent Transition Year Programme. We have a strong Pastoral Care system in place. Extra curricular activities are many and varied. Click on all of these pages to find out more.

Thank you for taking the time to look at our site. I hope it has been helpful and informative.

School Crest In Unum Pro Veritate - United for Truth / Together for Truth. The shield of our crest is primarily red, black and white echoing the Sligo County Colours. The tree represents the Tree of Life  and is taken from a tree in the grounds of the old Banada Abbey School. The tower illustrates the link with the monks at Banada. The bridge represents Banada Bridge and symbolises a bridge between the two schools, Banada Abbey and the Marist Convent with the alternating blue and green of the old school uniforms forming a connected band. The river is the Moy in which swims the Salmon of Knowlede. The sun represents illumination and knowledge with the letter 'A' for Attracta's at its centre.
