Welcome To Our School

I feel extremely privileged and honoured to have been given the opportunity to lead this wonderful school community. St Joseph’s Secondary School shares the rich tradition and strengths that are part of the Mercy/CEIST ethos. Excellence, inclusion, creativity, courage, opportunity, and a global vision are very much our living ethos. We affirm our Catholicism in the context of a new Ireland which welcomes diversity. We robustly engage our Students in the spiritual, intellectual, and physical rigours of a young, full life.

We have a unique atmosphere here in St. Josephs and have a long tradition of supporting students to reach their full potential.
