How Our School Got It's Name

The school area has strong connections with St.John. The church in the old Castletown graveyard is dedicated to him as is the holy well at Toberona which is from the Irish meaning "John's Well".

It was a place of pilgrimage on the 24th of June each year, the feast of St.John.

The parish priest who was also the manager of the school at the time it was built in 1966, was Canon Mac Ivor a noted and keen historian.

Being aware of the above, his choice of name for the school is both appropriate and commendable.
