Clonakilty is one of our greatest strengths. As a school, we value the many opportunities our town provides for meaningful, real-world learning.

Through the many opportunities our town offers — from its coastline and natural environment to its vibrant arts scene, sporting tradition, local businesses and strong community spirit — our pupils engage in meaningful learning experiences that extend well beyond the classroom. Clonakilty provides a living context for education, allowing the boys to connect their learning to the world around them.

We believe that education is enriched by connection. The boys of SNB are not only learning in their town — they are learning from it. These community links help foster curiosity, responsibility, pride and a strong sense of belonging in the place they call home.
