Text Book Rental Scheme

To alleviate the cost of education the school operates a book loan scheme for all junior level students. The scheme is not means tested and is available to everyone.

The students may rent all their textbooks for a yearly charge, currently running at 40 Euro per first year student.  (In some instances this charge may be waived under the S.S.R.I. scheme - details with Principal).

This proves a substantial saving for parents, and in lieu of that parents and students are requested to ensure that books on loan are covered, well cared for and returned in good condition so that other students may also benefit from their use.

Dual Book Scheme - an ergonomic idea!!

To overcome the problem of students carrying a bagful of heavy, bulky books to and from school, the college has introduced a scheme where each classroom has a full set of the relevant textbooks for use by the students during the day, and students have their own set of textbooks at home (supplied under the book loan scheme). So in essence students have access to two sets of books at a very low fee. This has proved very popular amongst students and hopefully will help to prevent back problems in years to come.
