Vision Statement 


We in Scoil Phobail Bhéara 
have a vision of the type of school we would like. It is a school guided by Christian values where students are happy and where everyone is treated with courtesy and respect. Our school encourages, supports and challenges all students to reach their full potential. ​
Picture
While parents are the primary educators of their children, our staff members, who act as in loco parents, are our most valuable resource and every effort is made to ensure that we have a dedicated and committed staff and good student-staff relationship.

Our school is an integral part of our local community and in addition to providing the best possible education for our young people and preparing them for later life, our school serves as a resource for and enriches our community.

We do everything possible to assist our students to take responsibility for themselves and their actions and we help them to appreciate and care for the world in which we live.
