We in Santa Sabina, aim to provide a holistic education for all students and to promote the qualities of truth, respect, responsibility, and resilience in a caring, inclusive, supportive environment.

The Ethos of Santa Sabina Dominican College

Santa Sabina Dominican College strives to be a welcoming place to all, irrespective of culture, social, religious or educational background. It is Catholic in character, inclusive in its intake, comprehensive in its curriculum, exercising justice and fairness in its structure and behaviour management strategies. It aims to take positive steps to fulfil its mission in partnership with the Department of Education, Board of Management, parents, staff, students, Le Chéile and the local community. We aim to work with the stated partners to provide a holistic education for our students.

As with other values, justice, peace, forgiveness, reconciliation and mutual understanding will find clear expression first and foremost in the daily life of the school community.

We aim to educate our students to be people of integrity and responsibility whose potential has begun to be realised and who will use their gifts to contribute to a more just society.

Since the aim of all Dominican schools is the formation of young people in a specifically Catholic tradition it follows that a systematic way of presenting the faith is a central element in the life of Santa Sabina Dominican College. However, students from other religious traditions and none are welcomed.
