Part of the mission of our school is to enable pupils to take their place in society as responsible, informed, thinking and tolerant young women.

 

Science education plays a fundamental role in achieving these aims within the school and also contributes towards the goal of scientific literacy for all which is one of the stated aims of the Irish education system.

 

St Joseph's has a strong tradition of science education. Many of our graduates go on to study science at third level.

 

In the science department we seek to maintain the school’s traditional ethos of excellence in education.
