School Clan System

Clan System

We operate a clan system in Saint Columba’s.  We have four clans that have a colour assigned to them as follows;

Derry – blue

Clonard – yellow

Gartan – red

Iona – green

P7 Clan Captains and Vice-Captains are elected early in the new school year and these children organise Clan events to try and win as many points as possible for their Clan.  Families are kept together in the same clan but children new to the school will be allocated a Clan at random. Some pupils choose to wear their Clan colours to PE and to Sports’ Day.

We also have two schools captains that are elected each year.
