Announcement. From Tony Kenneally Principal Scoil Iosaef Naofa
Dear Parents,
I wanted to inform you personally that I am retiring from the 31st August. Practically speaking this will be a few weeks before this date. A process is currently underway to choose a new principal. We hope to be able to make an announcement on this in due course.
I have worked in Scoil Iosaef Naofa since 1982, the last 10 years as principal. It has been an honour and a privilege. Thank you for your co-operation, ,support and friendship down through the years.
I am confident with the staff, students and parents we have, that the school will continue to go from strength to strength.
Tony Kenneally.
New Principal
I am delighted to announce the appointment of Mr. Andrew Bowen as the new principal of Scoil Iosaef Naofa.
Andrew Bowen is originally from Carrigtwohill but now lives in Midleton with his wife and two children. He is currently teaching in Scoil Mhuire Naofa in Carrigtwohill. He holds an Assistant Principal role there. He has a great interest in history and is extremely passionate about reading. He loves to read and loves to promote reading for pleasure. He is interested in sport especially cycling, cross country running and GAA. He looks forward to now cheering for Scoil Iosaef Naofa as he takes on the role of principal there.
Mr. Bowen takes up this new role in August. We wish him well.

Note from Fr Liam Kelleher
Before i retired from priestly ministry in Cobh, it was my privilege to be chaplain of Scoil Iosaef Naofa. It was always a joy to visit the school and I was particularly impressed with the welcome I received from Tony and his dedicated teaching staff. The pupils as well, were exceptionally welcoming and I will always cherish the visits to the classes preparing for the sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Communion. The Catholic and the Christian ethos in the school was exemplary and I could easily see this beginning with Tony and evident throughout the entire school.&nbsp;
As a member of the Board of management of the school, all I can say is, Tony was again superb. Concerned and caring for every pupil in the school
After nearly 40 years in the school, his time of retirement is nigh. I wish Tony the very best and my blessings and prayers go with him.
Teachers parents and pupils I know will be eternally grateful to Tony for his contribution in making the school a real place of learning and preparation of the students, for their future lives.
