St Eunan's College launch the New Admission Policy for 2011 -2012

In the past the school operated a completely open enrolment policy and accepted every boy who wished to attend the college. At present our enrolment is 838 and set to rise to over 900 for the academic year 2010/2011. This upward trend is set to continue for the foreseeable future resulting in more applications then can safely be accommodated in the College Campus as it is at present.

Accordingly the Board of Management has taken the decision to limit future enrolment in the college to ensure the health safety of staff and students. ( See the New Admission Policy which is located unter the downloads icon)

Events this week include:-

Thursday 6th May 2010 for school year 2011-2012
