The Charism of Edmund Rice
In the tradition of Edmund Rice, we see education as a key way of assisting young people to develop as people who are able to live fully human lives and make their best contribution to the human community. We place a special emphasis on the values of social justice. The Legacy document expresses the aims of our school and is the vehicle for review in this area.
