Saint Eunan’s College warmly invites all first years with their parents and guardians to our now annual Tales in the Castle. Come and share in all that is festive and literary on Thursday 6th Dec. It will be a lovely way of welcoming in the festive season
We’d like to welcome back all our students for the 2015/2016, a special welcome to all our incoming first year students. We hope that Saint Eunan’s will provide you with an education and an experience that will equip you for taking on everything that life can throw at you. We bid last years Leaving Certificate students a fond farewell as they embark on the next stage of their lives, leaving behind good memories in the College.
I hope to update you regularly on what is happening in the College this year, so tune back for all the news as it happens. I’m also here in my office, located adjacent to Mr.Darby’s for any inquires you may have throughout the year.
