Our School

Aim

Kishoge Community College aims to provide an education that enables all students to contribute meaningfully to their communities, embrace the rights and responsibilities of active citizenship and develop the knowledge and skills needed to live, learn and work in the 21st century. This is achieved through the pursuit of standards of excellence in all aspects of school life. Special emphasis is placed on the quality of teaching and learning, positive behaviour and the use of Information Technology as an educational tool across the curriculum.


Management

At Kishoge Community College, the management process is open and inclusive. The Board of Management, a subcommittee of Dublin & Dún Laoghaire ETB, has responsibility for the good governance of the school. The day-to-day management of the school is the responsibility of the Principal and his team. The Board consists of nominees from Dublin & Dún Laoghaire ETB, Educate Together, parents/guardians, school staff and the local community.


Ethos

The Board of Management of Kishoge Community College upholds the ethos of the school, ensuring that it is: learner-centred, equality-based, co-educational, democratically run.

The ethos informs all policies and practices in the daily life of the school. The Principal keeps the ethos and vision of the school visible and alive for everyone. Management is democratic, relationships are respectful, and all students are encouraged to reach their full potential. All students follow an ethical curriculum, which includes learning about different religions and belief systems, and all are challenged to develop their own strong moral code and ethical stance.


Facilities

Kishoge Community College is a bright, state-of-the-art building with well-equipped specialist classrooms, flexible learning spaces, sports areas and student social spaces, all planned so that students can learn in a building that is attractively designed and suits their needs.
