» Development of this Ethos for Second Level Schools

The Multi-denominational Principle.
All children have equal right of access to Educate Together Schools.  Children of all social and cultural groups and of all religious and non religious backgrounds are equally respected.

The Co-education Principle.
All children are encouraged to fulfil their potential in a school seeing that is committed to equal opportunities for girls and boys.

The Child Centred Principle.
The schools promote a child-centred approach to the curriculum in which the teacher guides and facilitates the child’s learning through both formal and informal methods, while encouraging the child to be an active participant in his/her learning.  Each child’s individual needs are considered and he/she is encouraged to learn at an appropriate pace.  There is constant striving for excellence in all areas of school life.

The Democratic Principle.
School Patrons and Boards are committed to work in such a way as to embrace the input of parents, teachers, supporters and children and to enable the highest level of participation and partnership.

These key principles are encapsulated in the motto,

“Learn Together to Live Together.”
