KWETB Patron
We are proud to be a KWETB school.
Kildare and Wicklow ETB is the patron of our school, it is a local education authority, established in July 2013. The Kildare and Wicklow ETB is governed under The Education and Training Boards Act 2013.
All ETB schools are State, Co-Educational, and Multi-Denominational. ETB ethos is underpinned by the core values of Excellence in Education, Care, Respect, Equality and Community. This year schools are putting in place measures to examine their own policies and practices and ensure that these are aligned with ETBI core values.

This year Piper’s Hill College is exploring our Ethos. This is part of a broader national initiative involving all ETBs. Ethos is the “lived experience” and is fundamental to all we do. Ethos is our way of thinking and being, it is who we are and what we do.
While it encompasses the curriculum and how it is taught, ethos is broader than this. It also relates to shared core values, to the hidden curriculum, to decision making processes and to the relationships that underpin the daily life of school.
Staff and students are now developing their unique identity in line with our core values. At Piper’s Hill we believe education must strive to open new dimensions by fostering a shared system of norms, values, traditions and folkways to build strong positive culture and improve learner performance.
To spread our message we will be organising many activities, talks and presentations. We would love for all staff,students and parents to get involved and join us on this journey.
