Fostering Resilience and Intellectual Curiosity at St Kevin's
One of the key messages we discuss with all boys is the importance of building resilience in all areas of their lives: they are encouraged never to give up, even when subjects become more challenging, concepts become more complex and the workload inevitably increases. The boys - through their teachers - are given every opportunity to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield (as Alfred, Lord Tennyson wrote in Ulysses). The College hopes that the boys will be fascinated by their discovery of new learning experiences in all of the subjects they encounter throughout their journey.
When a setting is caring and people are engaged by and intrigued in intellectual challenges, then both important aspects of learning are covered – learning environment and the emotional climate. The first deals with organisational structures, the other with sensory and language stimuli. Learning at St Kevin’s begins with relationships. Emotions are the gatekeepers to the intellect so boys are led to develop a genuine sense of self-esteem in a nurturing environment.
Curriculum Overview
The College offers a comprehensive curriculum at both primary and secondary levels. Educational programs and activities, supported by dedicated, highly qualified teaching staff, are designed to stimulate and challenge our students. We encourage self-discipline and self-motivation, and we place great importance on providing for different needs and talents.

In the Senior School, learning is enabled through standards to excellence; students are future focused and are led by expert teachers as they collaborate to master their learning, allowing students to flourish in their community through real-world application.
