At Harrytown Catholic High School, our ethos is grounded in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the values of the Catholic faith. Every child is valued, supported, and encouraged to grow spiritually, academically, and personally. We believe that education is a journey of the whole person heart, mind, and soul and we are proud to walk that journey with our students every day.
Strengthened by Jesus Christ and guided by the Holy Spirit, our Catholic school serves to support our young people to grow in faith and knowledge. We develop confident, resilient and aspirational young people who contribute and serve, with love and kindness, in our global community.
This Christ centred Mission guides us in building the Kingdom of God here on earth and is underpinned by our school virtues handed down to us by the Sisters of Charity of our Lady of Evron Humility : Recognise our own limitations and value others as God's children Service : Live out Christ's teachings in all we do Unity : Work together for the Common Good
