OUR SCHOOL

We would like to create an environment where children will acquire and develop the necessary knowledge and skill to become independent, confident learners – where they will develop their self-esteem to enable them to express and achieve their full potential. We will endeavour to broaden each child’s experience to help them become spiritual, well-balanced and tolerant individuals with a respect for themselves and others.

Secondary School Transition - Information For 6th Class Parents

Secondary School Transition - Information For 6th Class Parents

  • 7th Sep 2023 10:42 am

Parents/guardians,

Even though we are only back in school, it is the time of year when you should be thinking about which Secondary School your child will be attending next August/September.  It is very important that you and your child know as much as possible about when you need to apply and also the different schools in the Lucan/Clondalkin area so it is recommended to look at their websites and go to the Open Evenings when they are held. 

We advise that you apply to at least four/five schools as often children do not get a place in their first choice of school. Please be advised that school places are oversubscribed in our area, so the more schools you apply to, the better chance you have of getting a place for your child.

To apply you will need your child’s birth certificate and proof of address. Some schools also require a deposit, this will differ between schools.  

Please look at the website of each school for further information about that school and their admission policy by clicking the link here:

https://d22westsecondary.weebly.com/

 

If you have any more questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
 

Thank you,
