Jog

Thanks very much to the parents and pupils who contributed the sum of €8,729.24 to the Sponsored Jog. This represents a very slight decrease on last year’s figure (€8,806), but in the prevailing economic climate, it was a very commendable achievement and reflects very well on the generosity of our school community

Post Primary Transfer

Practically all of the pupils in 6th Class have now obtained places for the coming school year. Parents of pupils in other classes, who wish to send their sons to Coláiste Choilm, should contact that school without delay because it operates a waiting list system. Places for Fingal Community College and St Finian’s Community College are allocated to pupils while they are in 6th Class.
