Our School Crest
Our school crest is quite unique. It was designed by Gavin Arneill and
Ruth Lowry (former Sixth Year students). The Griffin (both lion and eagle)
is a royal symbol. The rising sun holds the date 1611, the year Royal
School Cavan was established. The sun rises above the drumlins,
which are a reference to the landscape of County Cavan. The sun is
a Christian symbol for Jesus the Light of the World, and in particular
his resurrection. The Latin phrase ‘Ad Vitam Paramus’ means ‘We are
preparing for life’, this includes the life that God offers us in Jesus
Christ – eternal life.
Our Mission Statement
Royal School Cavan endeavours to nurture students’ gifts and talents in a learning community that is
supportive, inclusive, and creative. Everyone is encouraged to achieve their full academic and personal
potential while developing habits that instil lifelong learning, guided by our Christian ethos.
“Developing habits of mind so that students are empowered
to be more confident of their own learning ability”
