Students’ Council

 

 

 

The Student Council is the voice of the students in our school.

 

St Fintans High School  has a vibrant and active Student Council. At the begining of each Academic Year a new Student Council is elected by the students. There are representatives from all years on the Council. Their contribution to school life is very valuable and appreciated.

We elect an executive committee consisting of a chairperson, deputy chairperson, treasurer and a secretary.

Meetings are held on a weekly basis and our overall aim is to improve student life in St Fintan’s High Schol

The Student Council will be very busy in the coming year.

Here are just a sample of some of the activities they get involved in:

  • Fundraising – ISPCA, St Francis Hospice, The Simon Community.
  • Non-Uniform Days
  • Council Meetings.

Principal’s welcome pt2

In September 1972, and following various transformations, St. Fintan’s commenced life as a secondary school on its new site overlooking Dublin Bay where it remains to this present day. Now catering for a student population of 674 and with over 40 teachers it is, in many ways, almost unrecognisable from its early days.

However the traditions and core values of St. Fintan’s High School are not too far removed from those that prevailed during the ‘Burrow Days’. Now under the Trusteeship of ERST, the Edmund Rice Schools Trust, St. Fintan’s aspires to promote full personal and social development in a caring, Christian community.

Teaching and learning take pride of place in our school curriculum and St. Fintan’s is proud of its strong academic tradition. A strong emphasis on sport has equally been a hallmark of education in St. Fintan’s and with 12 competitive sports St. Fintan’s has earned a reputation as one of the leading boys’ secondary schools in Dublin in this area.  Excellence in music and the arts is also strongly encouraged and promoted thereby providing a wide curriculum which caters for the many needs of our diverse student population.

St. Fintan’s holds dear all that is valuable and unique in each student and seeks to support all our boys as they prepare to find their place in the world where they can lead fulfilling, rewarding and happy lives.
