School news

Welcome

Moate Community School was established on the 1st September 1996 as a result of an amalgamation between Convent of Mercy Secondary School, Carmelite College and Moate Vocational School.
At present the school has an enrolment of approximately 1020 pupils and has a teaching staff of 72 teachers. An extensive building project was completed in December 2001.
The purpose of MCS is to nurture the intellectual, moral, social and physical development of young people, thus enabling them to contribute more fully towards the betterment of society.
Educational research in the field of school effectiveness and school improvement suggests that the capacity of school to attain these objectives is largely dependant on the environment or culture that prevails therein.
Furthermore, research suggests that the most effective schools are those which work at building a sense of community for all pupils. This sense of community is fostered through providing care, developing relationships, creating common purpose and fostering a sense of attachment among young people to something greater than themselves.

Mission Statement

Our school is characterised by an atmosphere of respect, this is at the heart of our school ethos. Respect manifests itself in our attitude towards one another in the school, in the community and in the environment in which we live and work.
We endeavour to help each individual reach his or her potential, by promoting the formation of the whole person. We provide an education which allows young men and women to put their Christian beliefs and values into practice.
As a community school we strive to provide an environment which serves the needs and aspirations of the entire local community.
