Our Mission, Values and Vision
Our mission
In Scoil Áine we acknowledge the uniqueness of students in our care, each with individual
needs and potentialities. We place our students at the heart of everything we plan for and do. It
is our aim that every young person in our school, whatever their personal circumstances can
learn and achieve their highest potential, academically, emotionally, spirituality and socially. We
focus on our students’ individual strengths and talents and promote sport, hobbies, special
interests, drama, music and the arts.
Our mission is to create a safe and nurturing learning environment where our young people feel
valued, respected, supported, cared for and a sense of belonging. We also provide a supportive
framework for their families.
Our Values
The success of our school is based on providing high quality holistic educational experiences for
all the young people as they embark on their journey of healing and recovery.
Our school Motto ‘Sharing the Journey’ means that we will be with our students every step of the
way building their self-esteem, confidence, belief and equipping them with the skills to thrive
either on their return to mainstream, their next educational journey, or beyond with the end goal
that our students will lead a happy, rewarding and successful life. One that they so rightly
deserve to have.
We endeavour to achieve this through our four ‘Be’ values which is reflected throughout our
school culture and shared with our students daily.
Be Kind: To others, be kind to yourself, be kind in communications and actions, and respect
each other and your community.
Be Happy: Enjoy learning, become great at whatever you do, be proud in your decisions and
achievements.
Be Heard: In your thoughts and feelings, in your aspirations and life choices
Believe: In yourself, believe in others and be part of the school family of support network.
