HFCS is a co-educational school with approximately 1,000 students from the surrounding suburb towns i.e. Rathcoole, Citywest, Tallaght. The school’s vision statement sees our school as a community of students, staff, parents and the Board of Management and prides itself in its implementation around the school. Every student is seen as an individual whose talents should be realised to the fullest. The schools code of behaviour speaks more about encouraging students to improve oneself rather than a focus on the sanctions for improper behaviour “Our school is committed to the development of a community of learners concerned for each individual in our care".

"...We believe that education provides opportunity for all. We nurture the well-being of all so that they may grow in knowledge and compassion. We strive to provide a school that promotes academic excellence and enables all students to realise their full potential. Our programmes, curricular and extra-curricular, develop the whole person.
