As Principal of Ballincollig Community School, I would like to welcome you to our school. BCS is an integral part of the community. Our school motto is ‘Achieving Excellence Together’. We strive to ensure that BCS provides an ambitious, holistic, accessible, and inclusive education to our students in a safe and caring environment. Our broad curriculum and state-of-the-art facilities mean that we can play to our students’ strengths and give them every opportunity to excel. We are proud of what we do here at BCS. For over 40 years we have provided the highest standards of teaching and learning and exceptional learning experiences for our students. The school has a long tradition of excellent academic results in the State Examinations, and we celebrate academic, co-curricular and extra- curricular achievement. We want every student to reach their own unique potential. As a school we recognise the importance and value of partnership: of working with students, parents and the community as a whole. We look forward to welcoming you to our school.

Karen Forde, Principal
