Religious Education
The school is a multi-denominational school. Facilities may be made available for denominational religious education for all students in accordance with the wishes of their parents. In practice, the students are predominantly Roman Catholic, but a number of children of other religious persuasions are enrolled and find that the atmosphere of the school is conducive to the development of their religious beliefs.
There is a full programme of religious instruction which most children are expected to attend.
Physical Education
Provision is made for all students to have a Physical Education class once a week. This is a compulsory part of the curriculum unless, for health reasons, it is considered necessary that an individual student be excused. In such cases a written request from parents should be submitted to the appropriate Year Head.
Extra Curricular Activities
It is important that every student should take part in some form of activity outside of study. An extensive programme of such activities takes place throughout the year - games and sporting activities, music, debating, choir, computer club, etc.
