Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to create a supportive and stimulating environment where academic excellence is achieved alongside personal growth and spiritual development. We believe that every child has unique gifts and talents, and it is our mission to help them discover and develop these to the fullest.

Our Catholic ethos and faith are at the core of everything we do. It guides our values and shapes our actions, fostering a sense of respect, compassion, and service to others. Our motto “Respect for yourself and Consideration for others” drives us in all we do.

We offer a broad and balanced curriculum that caters to the needs of all our students, ensuring they are well prepared for whichever future pathway they choose to follow. It is our hope that every child will succeed and follow a path that brings happiness, satisfaction, and where they can contribute effectively to society.

Our extracurricular activities provide rich opportunities for students to explore their interests and develop new skills, from sports and arts to community service and leadership.

We are proud of our strong partnership with parents, parishes, partner primary schools, and the wider community. Together, we work to create a nurturing environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and spiritually.

Thank you for considering our school for your child's education. We look forward to welcoming you into our community and embarking on this exciting journey together.

Videos from the Haven’s Composition project in Music 🎶
The Haven classes came together to work on a Composition project in Music, where they composed their own piece of music based on the pentatonic scale. Students have been composing and then performing on keyboards, boomwhackers and iPads and have now begun teaching their classmates their pieces. Today we worked in pairs and the classes showed great teamwork and leadership, with brilliant performances all round 🎶

SPK Connect See it Believe it Be it We attended the SRC Skills Build event in Newry today, where students were given an exciting opportunity to explore a wide range of careers within the construction industry. The event, organised by Southern Regional College (SRC) in partnership with NICB, provided hands-on experiences across a variety of trades, allowing students to develop practical insight into the skills involved in the sector. Students also benefited from informative and engaging talks delivered by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), which highlighted the significant growth in career opportunities within the construction industry. Speakers outlined the essential skills, personal qualities, and training pathways required to pursue successful careers in this expanding field. The event aimed to inspire young people to consider the diverse opportunities available within construction and related trades, while helping them better understand the qualifications and attributes employers are seeking in today’s workforce. This experience allowed our students to gain career awareness and future employability within this sector.
