Welcome to Coláiste éinde

Coláiste Éinde is a co-educational secondary school with a proud tradition of
service to the community. Its illustrious record stretches back almost a century.
The school is set on 16 acres of beautiful parkland on Threadneedle Road,
Salthill, overlooking the broad sweep of Galway Bay. This serves as a stunning
backdrop for today’s vibrant school community with its first-rate facilities and
an atmosphere within which each student can fulfil his or her own potential.

Our Catholic ethos is an intrinsic component of our school life. A spirit of care
and co-operation is fostered, in which students are encouraged to further their
academic, social, physical and moral development. In striving to recognize
and meet the needs of each individual student and the educational
requirements of society, Coláiste Éinde actively embraces new pedagogies.

The success of Coláiste Éinde students in their academic endeavors as well as
their achievements on the sports field, in the arts and in their many other
undertakings, serves as a resounding endorsement of the combined efforts of
the school community.

Yours sincerely,
