Principal’s Welcome
Welcome to our website- 125 years of Dominican education.
We are a school that has upheld academic excellence for generations—a place where students gain not only the skills to build a successful future, but also the values to lead a life of virtue and integrity.
Our vision as a school community is to create an environment where every student can reach their full potential and every person is valued. We are confident in our ability to honour the legacy of our past while embracing the challenges of the future. As stated in our Mission Statement, we are deeply proud of our Christian heritage, which inspires us to welcome, respect, and include people of all backgrounds and beliefs. As a community, we continually strive to tailor our educational approach to meet the needs of each student, aiming for excellence in teaching, learning, and the wide range of activities we provide so that every young person in our care can truly flourish.
We believe that every child is uniquely created—endowed with dignity, purpose, and the capacity to make a meaningful difference. In the spirit of St. Catherine, we seek to nurture both intellect and character, helping students grow in wisdom, deepen their faith, and develop the confidence to stand for what is right.
Our classrooms are places of inquiry, creativity, and compassion. Our community is one where students are known, supported, and encouraged to use their talents in service of others. Guided by our shared faith, we strive to form young people who are grounded in truth, committed to justice, and ready to lead with courage and empathy.
Our website reflects the rich and varied experiences that shape life in Muckross. From sport and debating to music, performance and service to others, our students are encouraged to explore, discover, and grow.
Our students make a difference. Here, creativity is encouraged, valued, and celebrated.
Warmly,
Siobhán Kelly
