Our College Vision Statement of ‘Excellence through Care’ is much more than just three words for us. It reflects the aspirations we have for each individual child within our care; it reflects the pastoral care that we provide on a daily basis; and it reflects our Catholic ethos. Our students, too, are taught to ‘CARE’ each and every day, with a strong focus on Commitment, Attendance, Respect and Extra-curricular activities, as well as our six Key Values of Care, Honesty, Respect, Inclusion, Safety and Trust. Suffice to say that we are exceptionally proud of our current students and the many past pupils of our College since 1985.

I have always believed that Our Lady and St Patrick’s College, Knock is unique; yes, we are academically strong, but there is so much more to a student of Knock than his or her academic profile. In the College every year, I see at first-hand a commitment to students’ extra-curricular activities which promote the development of the ‘whole person’. I also see our students using ‘their talents for the service of others’, quietly reflecting the College Mission Statement in their work with many charities and community groups. It is this combination which will ensure that our students are well prepared to make a positive contribution to society in the years ahead.
