The programme includes units on the Bible, the Sacraments, the liturgical year, moral and spiritual values and pupils also study two world religions.

Extra-Curricular:

We have an active School Conference of the St. Vincent de Paul society and students donate to charities, such as Trocaire, Children in Crossfire & Road of Hope, during the school year.

Students in Year 13 are encouraged to participate in the Pope John Paul II Award and in doing so they contribute to the life of their Parishes and serve their local communities.
