Supporting education and achieving potential
‘We believe that each child is a gift from God and has his/her own special gifts and potential. Our aim, as a school, is to use the resources available to us to educate and develop each child to their full potential and ability as best we can. We want each child to be affirmed in their gifts and to be enabled to develop their gifts for the enhancement of their own life and the good of the whole community.’
This entails the broad development of the child within the limits of the resources available to us and the rules of the Department of Education and Skills.
