As Acting Principal, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Templeogue College. This site contains information about our school, and it will also give you a sense of what makes Templeogue College a school where your son will be provided with opportunities to engage in an exceptional educational experience.
Our aim in Templeogue College is to provide a high-quality learning environment. Our dedicated teachers and staff strive for excellence in learning and teaching by providing a balanced curriculum that caters for the needs of each individual. The school also provides a comprehensive range of educational experiences that will both stimulate and challenge your son. We are committed to the development and care of each and every student. A strong emphasis is placed on the personal and social development of all our students, consistent with the Spiritan tradition and Core Values, through the provision of a wide range of extra-curricular and co-curricular activities with all students actively encouraged to participate.
During their time in Templeogue College, we will endeavour to ensure that each student will have developed into a self-confident young person, ready to take their place in a just and caring society. Our mission is to provide a well-rounded education for each and every one of our students in an educational environment that is conducive to highly effective learning and teaching which will then enable them to take the next steps in their young adult lives.
At Templeogue College, we are more than just a place of learning; we are a vibrant community guided by the Spiritan Core Values that inspire and unite us. Here’s what makes us special:
- Openness to the Spirit: We embrace inspiration and guidance in all aspects of life, encouraging creativity and innovation.
- A Sense of Community: Our school is a family where everyone belongs, and we support each other every step of the way.
- Option for the Poor: We prioritise the needs of the marginalised and underserved, fostering empathy and compassion in our students.
- Commitment to Service: Our students actively participate in service projects, making a positive impact in our local and global communities.
- Global Vision: We promote awareness and understanding of global issues, preparing our students to be thoughtful, informed citizens of the world.
- High Educational Standards: Excellence is our standard. We challenge our students to reach their full potential academically and personally.
- Personal and Faith Development: We support the growth of each individual's character and spirituality, nurturing well-rounded, principled leaders.
I invite you to explore our website and discover how these values come to life in our classrooms, activities, and community events. The Templeogue College motto is ‘In Virtute Scientia’ – ‘Education Rooted in Values’, where every student is empowered to shine.
There are exciting developments afoot in Templeogue College as we continue to broaden our curriculum, for example, in the last few years we have introduced Leaving Certificate PE, RE & Computer Science. This current school year (2024/25) marked the opening of our first AS /Special class and sensory room (as well as an outdoor soft play area), with our second special class due to open in the 2025/26 academic year. Also, there are plans for a whole campus development to be completed by the end of this decade – exciting times indeed!
