We had a very massive turnout for our Open Night on Tues 8th Oct. Our campus was a buzz of activity where we welcomed 5th & 6th Class students & their Parents/Guardians, they got a huge flavour of what we have to offer on on our wonderful campus.
Over 300 of our own students along with our dedicated staff were on hand to showcase life here on Grogan’s Road. Our students gave tours, speeches, showed off subject areas, extra curricular activities and painted a truly reflective impression of daily school life here on our campus. There were freshly baked cookies, students checked out activities in our sports hall, school gym and Astro turf, guests got to experience a range of activities from learning some German, French or Spanish, to drawing in Graphics, some exciting Science experiments and more. Our wonderful choir performed before the Head Girl & Principal speeches.
The atmosphere around the school was electric and it was lovely to see our own students lead the way and usher in future students, guiding them around the school and answering all their questions.

Some impartial advice given to Parents when choosing a secondary school included:
Try to visit at least three to compare and contrast. If you can.
Are the students well-presented and polite?
Are the facilities well maintained?
What are the exam results like?
How will the school cater for your child’s needs?
What is the learning environment like?
Does the school, and indeed staff make you feel welcome?
What extra-curricular activities are offered?
Do students respond if you ask them a question?
A massive thank you to Rikki O’Leary who coordinated the whole event, and of course a massive thank you to our staff & students who excelled at showcasing our school. It is very true, if you want to know what a school is really like ask the current students.
