A message from the schools Principal Mrs Carmel O'Sullivan " Education in its broadest sense is concerned -with the achieving of personal wholeness and integrity with the development to the utmost of personal gifts and creativity. It is one of the teachers' tasks to help develop their pupils ability to form relationships and to be part of a living and loving community. School is not an institution but a community"

The Schools Moto is: Making the effort, Making a difference, Making the grade. Curriculum:
