Our School Faith Development
Our school is enriched by the presence of a school chaplain who visits the school regularly. He works with the Religious Education teachers in fostering the spiritual development of each student. Individual and class visits to the school Séipéilín, together with mass and retreats for year groups provide opportunities for students to deepen their faith and their relationship with God.
Students are also encouraged to reach out to others by being actively involved in fund raising for charitable organisations and in issues of social justice.
