Deirdre Murphy

I am delighted to take-on the position of Principal at Brannoxtown CNS in September 2023, along with my role as Seionr Room teacher.

I have been teaching for 13 years both in Dublin and abroad. I spent five years living in Santiago, Chile where I was lucky enough to work in a progressive British School teaching English and music. I am passionate about music and I love to play the piano and sing whenever possible. I also love sports and I play tennis and hockey. I recently completed a Masters in Educational Leadership and my research topic focused on the idea of Ethical Leadership.

I love teaching and I am very excited to welcome children to the Senior Room at Brannoxtown CNS.  I know that together, we will enjoy a year filled with laughter, learning and lots of fun!

Eoin Stakelum

Hi! My name is Múinteoir Eoin and I am the Deputy Principal at Brannoxtown C.N.S. I am excited to take on the role of the Junior and Senior Infants teacher this year.
I have been teaching for 12 years and I am passionate about physical education and integrating technology into my daily teaching. Before joining our fantastic school, I worked in teacher education to help teachers enhance their teaching and learning through the use of technology. I recently completed a Master’s in Educational Leadership, which has further fuelled my commitment to fostering a dynamic and inclusive learning environment.
I am looking forward to a fantastic year ahead, filled with growth, discovery, and lots of fun!

Liz Kavanagh

I am the School Secretary at Brannoxtown CNS, working part-time since September 2019.  I have previously worked in the Telecommunications and Financial industries.

I am delighted to be working at Brannoxtown Community National School.  I joined Brannoxtown CNS at a very exciting time where the school is developing, growing and expanding on an on-going basis. It is a lovely environment to work in and to see the children thriving under the guidance of their Teachers.

Sinéad Leydon, BCNS SNA & Services Manager at The Learning Tree

I began the Afterschool Club in Brannoxtown CNS in September 2021. Responding to parents’ needs, I began additional school services in September 2022, including a Breakfast Club and Preschool. Working with Múinteoir Deirdre, our first Summer Camp began in 2022.

I have been working in the Early Years and School Age sectors for 18 years, most recently teaching in and managing a busy Dublin preschool. Prior to this, I spent four happy years working as a Special Needs Assistant (SNA) assisting children with a range of needs to access the curriculum and reach their potential. I have worked with varying age groups throughout my career from babies to teenagers and have always enjoyed watching them grow and learn. I really believe play is key for all children, it is how we learn best, through hands-on experiences. I am a firm believer in sensory play and its benefits and I am an advocate for outdoor activities and the outdoor classroom.

My values align closely with those of the school. I hope to be welcoming lots of families to The Learning Tree School Services at Brannoxtown CNS.  I promise it will be a place the children will always be welcomed, respected and so-well cared for.
