Guidelines on the Inclusion of Students of Other Faiths in Catholic Secondary Schools
Click here to view and download the JMB Guidelines on the Inclusion of Students of Other Faiths in Catholic Secondary Schools which were written by Aiveen Mullally of SchoolEthos.ie.
These guidelines offer practical suggestions to Catholic secondary schools on how to welcome and facilitate students of different faiths and no faith, while remaining true to the characteristic spirit of the school. The guidelines seek to address some of the challenges faced by Catholic schools in a 21st Century diverse Ireland and to encourage schools to be truly Catholic in its approach to hospitablity and inclusiveness of all faiths and none in their schools.
