Ethos & Faith Development

Our ethos, which forms the culture of Mount Anville Secondary School is rooted in the very best traditions of the Society of the Sacred Heart. Drawing from this rich and fruitful source, our Sacred Heart Goals represent the values which the school wishes to promote and live by. They guide our behaviour and identify us as belonging to a common Sacred Heart family and embody the mission of Sacred Heart education which aims to educate to the whole person through

· A personal and active faith in God

· A deep respect for intellectual values

· A social awareness which impels to action

· The building of community as a Christian value

· Personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom

The mission of Sacred Heart education, inspired by the vision and charism of our foundress Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat, is to make known the love of God revealed in the heart of Jesus. Education was chosen as the means for educators and students to come to know and experience God’s love and presence. In and through the act of educating, one experiences being loved by God and loving God in return. The context of this dynamic is relationships built on mutual respect and trust. Indeed, our culture is ultimately relational. This relationally finds expression in our educational philosophy that at its core is person-centred. The concept of the whole person is central to Sacred Heart Education philosophy. We have succeeded when our students become responsible members of society, confident of their own worth, and are capable of pursuing their personal missions with energy, purpose and conviction. It is our hope that Sacred Heart Education will equip them with the faith and the fortitude to cope with the challenges they will face.

TY Retreat

The TY retreat took place today in the surroundings of the home of St. Kevin, Glendalough, Co. Wicklow. The group accompanied by Ms McCarthy and Mr Molloy were blessed with pleasant weather and enjoyed a day of reflection, group faith based activities and individual personal time to explore their own spiritual journey. Members from The I Am Retreat team facilitated the retreat providing an opportunity for TY students to immerse themselves in the peaceful and tranquil environment. We commend our TY students for their positive engagement.

Faith Formation

My name is JP and I am the faith formation and development officer for all of the adults in our Sacred Heart schools’ community on our beautiful Mount Anville Campus. The essential function of this role is to communicate the message of Sacred Heart education and to support our parents, faculty, staff, and management in coming to know and understand the aims, mission, and values that underpin Sacred Heart Education today. Inspired by our foundress St. Madeleine Sophie Barat we strive to ensure that our schools continue their pursuit of excellence, centred on the holistic development of each girl, and animated by the love of God and the transformation of society in light of gospel values.
