The Role of the Chaplain is of great importance. Sr. Mary Delahunty is our current Chaplain. She supports students during hard times and responds to the spiritual needs of the student as they arise during the year. Sr. Mary is assisted by Ms. Monica Delaney, our Pastoral Co-Ordinator.
Recognising that the transition from primary to secondary school is a significant step in the life of a student, this school has put in place structures that will ease this transition.
A formal induction process provides new students with opportunities to meet their class group, teachers and student support staff. Senior students who have spent a number of years here are particularly well positioned to help their new companions. At the end of Fifth Year, each student is encouraged to volunteer to be a ‘cara’ to a First Year. They provide friendship and support throughout the year and meet at regular structured activities in each term.
Three prefects and the Chaplain co-ordinate these events throughout the year.
The mentoring process provides students in senior classes with an opportunity to meet a designated teacher in order to discuss academic work at key points during the school year. It provides the student with support, guidance and practical advice.
