MISSION STATEMENT:

Our Mission is the provision of a broad, relevant curriculum for our students, through which they can develop their full potential. We aim to prepare our students to participate as good Christians and as good citizens in society.

The Ballinamore Post-Primary Schools comprise of Ballinamore Vocational School and Fatima and Felim's Secondary Schools. A system of common enrolment is in operation since 1970 which has enabled the pupils to benefit from the best of both Vocational School and Secondary School traditions. It has resulted in a pooling of resources which provides a wide curriculum for both Junior Certificate and Leaving Certificate Students.

The Ballinamore Post-Primary schools aim at helping students develop in the personal, academic sporting, cultural and spiritual dimensions of their lives. The intention is to help equip our students with the personal and the learning skills which will assist them in their adult and professional lives. The schools' commitment to Christian values and to the importance of community involvement is essential for an educational environment which helps to promote the strengths of each pupil.

In terms of the performing arts, occasional concerts and plays have given students opportunities to develop their dramatic and singing skills. Participation in public speaking, quizzes is encouraged and facilitated by teachers. The school magazine gives students a chance to exercise their creative and descriptive abilities. Educational Tours to European countries have provided students with opportunities to experience other cultures. The school has a strong sporting tradition in Gaelic football, basketball and athletics. Our students have progressed to inter-county, provincial, national and international standards.

The school provides for the pastoral care of students with a career guidance teacher and the services of special tuition for students who have specific learning difficulties.

A system of class teachers is in operation to help students with any problems they may encounter in their time at second level education.

Adult Education is also catered for in Ballinamore Post-Primary Schools. These classes take many shapes and are tailored to suit local needs. Successful classes have been held in ECDL Computing, Yoga, Beginners and Advanced Computers, Cookery, Languages, Flower Arrangement.
