                                                     Mission Statement
​

It is our aim in Whitegate National School to:
 
  • create a love of learning and discovery in the children.
 
  • help the children to be aware of the needs of others and to teach them to learn how to respect themselves and others and to develop Christian attitudes towards living.
 
  • instill self - confidence in the children.
 
  • make the children aware of their own talents and to encourage them to use these talents to the best of their abilities.
 
  • show the children how to learn effectively.
 
  • enable each child to have a good relationship with the staff and other pupils in the school.
 
  • create an awareness and interest in the natural and man-made environment in which the children live - the sea, fishing, birds, the lighthouse, the fort, the E.S.B station, the refinery, the former Weather Station, Trabolgan Holiday Village etc.
 
  • create a spirit of punctuality in the children.
 
  • foster and encourage a love of the Irish language and culture in the children.
 
  • encourage initiative among the children.
 
  • teach the children the wisdom of thrift by operating a saving's scheme in the school.
 
  • that there would be fair play at all times between teachers and pupils irrespective of creed, colour or class.
