The School recognises the central role of the family as the Primary Educator of the child. The School also accepts and supports the constitutional right and duty of the parents to provide for the Religious, Moral, Intellectual, Physical and Social Education of their children.
The School aims to provide the best possible environment to cater for the Cultural, Educational, Moral, Physical, Religious, Social, linguistic and Spiritual values and traditions of all its children with the resources available to us. The focus of the School Philosophy is the Education of the whole child to reach his/her full potential. We show special concern for the disadvantaged, respecting the dignity and uniqueness of each child. Our School upholds the values and principles of a Mercy Education in the Catholic tradition. Working together as a School community, the Board of Management, Principal, Staff, Parents and Pupils will strive to provide an environment, which will allow all students to develop to their maximum potential and fulfil their role in society
