We celebrated Edmund Feast Day in honour of our founder Blessed Edmund Rice. 1Heaney completed a carousel task in Religious Education learning about the life of Blessed Edmund Rice. Students learned how passionate Edmund Rice was about education and what his vision for education and young people. We celebrate this day on May 5th every year.
His vision was “Liberation through education”
Edmund wanted to:
- equip people intellectually, morally and spiritually
- to stand on their own two feet
- to change the society that caused and allowed them to be poor
