Gerry Duffy School PrincipalIn finding our principal inspiration in the life and in the teaching of Jesus Christ, our school aims:

  • To develop a view of reality which is firmly based on the values of the gospel; 
  • To place a high priority on the development of the Catholic religious faith and the practice of pastoral care among our pupils;
  • To provide an educational facility where teachers teach and pupils learn in a safe, caring, ordered and happy environment;
  • To become, through education, an empowering experience in the lives of our pupils;
  • To foster a sense of self-worth, honesty and respect among our pupils and all the other members of the school community;
  • To create and maintain a close rapport with the many partners who share our commitment to education;
  • To share with such partners our core beliefs and values regarding the purpose of education so that our ongoing collaboration may be enduring, authentic and inspirational.
