School Journals; €10 each – all students are required to purchase on first day back.

Lockers; Rent of locker per year – €20. Lockers remain the property of the school and management reserves the right to search lockers where there is reasonable belief re:  dangerous implements or illegal substances or as part of an investigation into theft of property. If a student does not use the locker appropriately the school reserves the right to withdraw the facility without refund.

1. School shoes must be ALL BLACK, no deviations will be accepted. School uniform is available at EXCEL Promotions, Six Cross Roads Business Park and Heroes, John Roberts Square.

Contact Phone Numbers and Absenteeism; It is becoming increasingly difficult to contact parents because of changing phone numbers. It is vital that we have a contact number for Parent/Guardian of every student so that in the event of illness or accident they can be contacted. No student will be given permission to leave the school unless contact can be made with a parent or a note has been provided in the journal.

We ask that if your son is absent or is going to be absent for any reason that you contact the school by 10.00am at 0860404915/051377378.
