St Columba’s is a school where the whole child is educated. Academic excellence is but a portion of this, as each child is given the opportunity to do his or her best on the sporting fields, in the cultural areas of choir and chess, and, most importantly, in the spiritual field as they take part in the various liturgies and weekly masses that are held in the adjacent St Patrick’s church during the year. As our mission statement reads, “We are committed to the development of the whole child; religious, academic, cultural and sporting, based on the life and teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
