Welcome to St. Joseph’s Secondary School
Our school is a caring, student centred community where students are nurtured and challenged to achieve their very best in all areas of life. We aim to provide our students with a positive learning environment so that they can develop the skills, attitudes and knowledge necessary for a full and active participation in society.
In St. Joseph’s we encourage academic excellence and immersion in school life. Our school has a proud tradition of success in extra-curricular activities. We offer a range of extra-curricular activities that provide students with an opportunity to grow and develop their skills outside the classroom.
Rooted in the Christian tradition of the Mercy Order and now under the trusteeship of CEIST (Catholic Education An Irish School’s Trust), St. Joseph’s is a caring school which actively promotes respect, truth and compassion throughout the school community. The dedication and professionalism of its' teaching staff is guided and supported by the enlightened, progressive policies of management and trustees.
Partnership is a key feature of our approach and we are supported in our work by the Board of Management, Parent Council and Student Council. The relationship between parents, teachers and students is characterised by mutual respect and support, which contributes hugely to the ongoing success of our school.
St. Joseph’s is a community which surrounds our students with friendship, positivity and an infectious desire to succeed. All this is provided in a caring and supportive environment which allows our students to flourish into considerate, empathetic and resilient young adults.
