Ethos & Vision

Our Mission Statement

Slemish College welcomes students of all traditions and abilities to learn together in a caring school community where self worth and mutual respect are highly valued. In partnership with parents, we seek to offer opportunities for individual success while promoting excellence in education for all.

Our Vision

“Learning Together for Individual Success”

“Foghlaim le chéile le haghaidh rath aonánaigh.”

Our Motto

Three latin words adorn our College logo: Reverentia, Intellectio, Veritas. This translates as Respect, Understanding, Truth.

Our Core Values

In Slemish College we welcome students from all traditions, and strive to ensure that understanding and respect for all is promoted in everything we do. To facilitate this, students will learn about their own culture and that of other traditions and faiths through curricular, sporting and enhancement activities.

We have high expectations at Slemish College, not only from an academic viewpoint, but also with regards social development.  Our students show respect to each other and all members of staff. They are expected to be caring and considerate at all times, to co-operate with their classmates and staff, and to be courteous and mannerly.

College Hymn

Over fields of green from north to south
Across the sea of blue
Let the joy of such creative power
Release our song to You

United by Your promise
So faithful and so true
As Your spirit soars within our hearts
Our song shall rise to You
Our song shall rise to You

So may the music of our song
Release a healing power
And with all God's angels join our hearts
In heaven's song above

United by Your promise
So faithful and so true
As Your spirit soars within our hearts
Our song shall rise to You
Our song shall rise to You.
