Welcome to the official website of Loreto Secondary School, St Michael's, Navan, Co Meath. St Michael's is one of a family of Loreto schools in Ireland founded through the charism of Mary Ward - foundress of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (IBVM), known in Ireland as Loreto. These values are Freedom, Justice, Joy, Sincerity and Truth. We try to live these out in St Michael's every day we come to school. As a school community, we measure ourselves by these values. We make a strong commitment to the development of the whole person, and this is evident in our promotion of an impressive range of extra- and co-curricular activities. "A Tradition for our Future" is the motto of the school which caters for the community of Navan and the surrounding rich tapestry of the Boyne Valley. In St Michael's, we recognise the contribution of each and every member of our school community. We strive to ensure that each student will reach her potential and that each staff member will develop and grow in the spirit of learning and collaboration. We thank you for your interest in our school and we invite you to explore our website. We hope that it gives you some sense of the wide range of opportunities and activities available at Loreto Secondary School, St Michael's.
