The Voice

Our college annual will be available to Leaving Certificate students when they get their results in August and to all other students when classes resume in September.

Dress Code

When the uniform was designed twenty years ago, it was our intention that it be something which could be worn neatly without a lot of effort. To our way of thinking, students come to school to learn. Time and energy focused on student attire should be minimal.

The uniform includes black, navy or dark brown plain shoes. No runners!

Students are clearly advised that they are not to wear jackets/sweatshirts on the corridors, in classrooms or the Library. Excess jewellery is not permitted and will be confiscated. A fine applies to all students on each breaking of these rules.

Brow and nose rings/studs (or whatever other body piercing is obvious) is strictly forbidden. Students will be sent home.

Our goal is to have students learn what is acceptable attire for the workplace and to take pride in how the present themselves in school. Please give your support in this effort.
