WELCOME...
We hope that this site will be of great benefit to our pupils, parents and friends.
Churchtown N.S. focuses on the academic, physical, emotional, moral and social growth of each child in an extremely caring environment.
Each child is brought to his/her full academic potential through constant, positive learning experiences.
The school has an extremely rich sporting tradition and children are encouraged to participate in training and play in several sports from an early age.
Churchtown N.S. is also renowned for its musical and choral heritage. All children are given the opportunity to learn one or more of several musical instruments. They also perform in choral activities at many different events.
As you explore the website we hope you enjoy looking at the multitude of other activities that are part of everyday life here in our beautiful school.
