Our Mission Statement

The Holy Family Senior School is a co-educational Catholic Primary School which welcomes all creeds and races and acknowledges the uniqueness of all our pupils and staff. Diversity is respected, difference is treasured and everyone belongs.

Working together, the staff of the Holy Family Senior School endeavour to provide dynamic and constructive learning opportunities in a positive and open environment.  An atmosphere exists where kindness, compassion and respect are valued and reflected in the day -to-day interactions of the school community. Appreciation for others and their efforts is greeted with energy and enthusiasm. A high standard of behaviour is expected where everyone feels safe and happy.

Our Catholic ethos encourages a kind heart, an open mind, generous spirit and a healthy body. The Holy Family S.S.  is a school where personal responsibility is encouraged. We strive to ensure each child receives his/her rights to a first class holistic education. We encourage the children to grow into kind, confident, responsible and independent individuals. The children will be reminded of our school motto ‘Fáilte, Foghlaim, Fás’, -Welcome, Learn, Grow. It is good to be in the Holy Family Senior School.
