Info for Parents
A new school in Blackrock! An Foras Pátrúnachta are opening a new multi-denominational Gaelscoil in September 2019, offering parents a great new choice. See further information below.
Why choose a new Gaelscoil?
Location
Our school will open on Kill Lane, Deansgrange this September.
The permanent location will be confirmed by the Dept. of Education in September 2019.
Our staff
We are delighted to have Príomhoide Aoife appointed as Principal and Múinteoir Caitríona who will be working as our second teacher. Their extensive experience and love of Irish culture will be a great asset to the school.
The school will open with one Junior infants class only under Aoife and Caitríona. This means an extremely low pupil teacher ratio – a hugely valuable resource for your child as they begin their journey with us.
Registration for 2019
Late registration is now open for Junior Infants 2019 only. Therefore, registration for later years will open after Halloween 2019.
1. Our enrolment policy (bilingual) is available here.
2. The registration form (bilingual) is available here.
