Our School
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I am honoured to introduce myself as the new principal of St Martin De Porres NS. As we prepare for a new school year, I want to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to all of you.
I truly believe that a successful school is built on strong partnerships between teachers, students, and parents. I look forward to building on these partnerships that Ms O’ Loughlin and the staff have forged with you over the years. My door is always open, and I look forward to getting to know each of you and learning about what makes our school community so special.
I am dedicated to ensuring that every student has a safe, engaging, and enriching school experience. Together, we will create an environment where our students can thrive, explore their passions, and reach their full potential.
Please don't hesitate to say hello if you see me around the school. I'm eager to get to know you and your children.
Here’s to a fantastic school year!
Sincerely,
Richie Hoban
Our School Crest
The school originally opened under the management of the Dominican Order, but now it is under secular management under the auspices of the Archbishop of Dublin.
The school badge has the same image as that on the shield of the Dominican Order. It depicts the eternal battle between good and evil as represented by the light and dark colours.
Our school is named after St. Martin de Porres who was a Dominican lay brother. We celebrate his feast day each year on November 3rd.
