Our Ethos

Boherbue NS encourages and guides each and every child in developing fully their own gifts while caring for one another in the way Jesus taught us. As a school community it values the contribution of all its members, respects their uniqueness and responds to their individual needs in a caring and supportive way. It sees itself as an extension of the family. As a parish school it encourages pupils to participate in parish activities appropriate for their age. While Boherbue NS is a school with a Catholic ethos, it also gives due recognition to children of all other religious beliefs.
