Our aims are:

  • To foster an understanding and critical appreciation of the values - moral, spiritual, religious, social and cultural - which have been traditionally accorded respect in society.
  • To nurture a sense of personal identity, self-esteem and awareness of one's particular abilities, aptitudes and limitations combined with respect for the rights and beliefs of others.
  • To promote equality for all, including those who are disadvantaged, through economic, social, physical and mental factors, in the development of their full educational potential.
  • To develop intellectual skills combined with a spirit of inquiry and the capacity to analyse issues critically and constructively.
  • To develop expressive, creative and artistic abilities to each child's full capacity.
  • To foster a spirit of self-reliance, innovation, initiative and imagination.
  • To promote physical and emotional health and well-being.
  • To create tolerant and caring members of society.
  • To promote a keen awareness of national and European heritage and identity.
