Introduction

At the very heart of St Colm’s High school lies the Catholic Ethos, this is nurtured throughout the pupil’s school life within the religious classroom.  Pupils are encouraged to examine their conscience and are equipped to deal with moral issues that will affect their everyday life.  They are encouraged to become independent learners while always considering the needs of others.
