St. Columba’s Boys National School Douglas Sciath Na Scol Football ‘F1’ Final Wednesday 16th November 2011 Situtated on a five acre campus in the heart of Douglas, our school has been a centre for learning for over 100 years. Our most important resource is our staff, the principal, class teachers, and learning support teachers. We also have in addition, classroom assistants, administrative and maintenance staff. Our aim is to help each pupil in our care to grow and develop in a stimulating and enriching environment, so that his full potential is realised. St. Columba’s has a strong sporting tradition. Given the tradition of the GAA in the Douglas area and its importance to the local community, both hurling and football are developed by our talented teaching staff in partnership with Douglas GAA club.
