St. Mary's New Ross is a Ceist School in the best tradition of  providing a Christian, caring, community of teaching and learning.  We are an all-girls' school blessed with an exceptional teaching staff, top class students and excellent facilities.

We celebrate success at all levels of achievement and our goal is to help each student in our care to reach her full potential in all aspects of her academic and personal life.

First class results are obtained each year in the Junior and Leaving Certificate exams. Our proud record of achievement across all areas of school life is reflected in the high level of involvement of all our students on various committees, clubs and teams.  Our students occupy real leadership roles as prefects, student council members and Meitheal leaders and are an excellent example of the great quality of our young people to-day.

This school is about everyone doing their best. We have high expectations for our school and we expect our students to have high expectations of themselves in all aspects of school work and behaviour. 

St. Mary’s is very proud of its pupils both past and present, its history, tradition and past achievements. It recognises the immense contribution of the Mercy Sisters, Teaching Staff, Students, Parents and the Local Community in bringing the school to the forefront of educational and sporting achievements in the town, county, country and further afield.

St. Mary’s is also very conscious of current educational reform and change. We are committed to embracing new thoughts and processes and we will continue to be key players in educational debate and innovation for the greater good of all our stakeholders.

St. Mary's has an excellent pastoral care programme which considers the needs of each individual student and provides support, advice, and assistance to all.

We are  very proud of our school and what it has to offer.  We hope that you enjoy visiting our site and we look forward to helping you with any enquiries that you may have.

Sincerely yours,

 Gene O'Sullivan
