Ethos:

The central purpose of the Ardscoil na Tríonóide’s school community is the religious,

moral, intellectual, physical and social education of the student, bringing to life the
vision of Venerable Catherine McAuley and Blessed Edmund Ignatius Rice. We
seek to create an atmosphere of Christian care and concern in which the student

can grow to maturity and strive towards excellence in all respects.
The school fully subscribes to the principles of partnership, accountability,
transparency, inclusion and respect. Ardscoil na Tríonóide advocates, and will

develop, a strong sense of social justice. It is intended that the experience of
education in this school will be happy and creative with every participant fulfilling
their own potential in a safe and caring environment. At Ardscoil na Tríonóide we
recognise that Parents are the primary educators of their children. In R.E. we

encourage parents to take responsibility for the Faith Formation of their children and
support the Religious Education policy of the school. Faith Formation is the

responsibility of the whole school community and not just the Religious Education
Teacher. We provide a Catholic education in accordance with our ethos enhancing
the spiritual, moral and social development of our students. Teaching and learning
takes place in an atmosphere of mutual respect which seeks to value the young

person at every level.
