St John Bosco Senior Boys School

About

St John Bosco Senior Boys’ School, situated on Navan Road in Dublin 7, is a dedicated junior secondary institution for boys from 2nd to 6th class, including a specialised autism class and a strong SNA (Special Needs Assistant) team. The school’s ethos centres on providing a happy, secure environment where pupils can progress with enjoyment and develop a genuine eagerness to learn. A balanced timetable runs from 8.50 am to 2.30 pm, with a supervised yard from 8.40 am to 2.40 pm, and a midday break that allows for a relaxed lunch period. Parental involvement is actively encouraged; the school works closely with a Parents’ Committee and offers regular opportunities for parents to visit classrooms and discuss their child’s progress with teachers. A wide range of after‑school clubs, including sports such as hurling and cross‑country, as well as creative projects like the Medieval Times initiative, enrich the pupil experience beyond the classroom. Uniform and booklist information, together with the school calendar, are readily accessible through the parents’ area of the website. Governance is provided by an eight‑member Board of Management comprising parent elected representatives, patron nominees (the Archbishop of Dublin), community representatives, the principal and a teacher nominee, ensuring a broad base of oversight and strategic direction.
