Our Philosophy
A Christian concern for others is fostered through advocacy programs, charitable initiatives, active involvement with community organisations, liturgical celebrations and links with the work of the Christian Brothers in Zambia.
Being keenly aware of the ever increasing effects of outside influences on the lives of our students, we emphasise Christian values and encourage all students to become actively involved in a variety of extra-curricular activities.
The enthusiastic participation of our staff members in the extra-curricular life of the school is a hallmark of our institution and ensures that a wide range of sporting and cultural activities are promoted.

Our Approach
Life skills are reinforced through participation in activities such as: European educational trips, choir and music, debating, sports, quizzes, work experience programmes, enterprise initiatives, foreign exchange programmes, drama, concerts, charitable fundraising and Gaisce.
While the pursuit of excellence is encouraged, the dominant emphasis is on broad participation, personal development and genuine enjoyment.
