Well done to all involved.

School Admission

Information for Prospective Students

Prospective student and their parents can take a virtual tour of our school in this video. The school prospectus can be accessed here. 

In order to streamline our application process, Abbey Community College has moved to an online application system. Here you will be able to make your online application, accept a place (including the submission of all documentation required by the school during this stage of the process) and apply for a transfer from another school to Abbey Community College. This will significantly reduce our paper usage and time spent at office level in managing the application process. The application forms are on the Application Page 

There is a link to our admissions policy here...  Further information about the school is available on the Policy Page .

Vaping and e-cigarettes A HSE information booklet for parents, guardians and young people 

Abbey Community College received a grant in 2021 to implement initiatives aimed at addressing the digital divide and support our learners at risk of educational disadvantage as a consequence, as part of the Irish National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) a project under the Recovery and Resilience Facility funded by the European Union through NextGenerationEU. This funding was used to provide students with a mobile classroom of computers which gives access to research for projects at Junior Cycle and Leaving Cert level.

Wellbeing

Abbey Community College recognises that our mental health is an important part of the overall wellbeing of our school community and how we function in our lives as a whole.

Positive mental health contributes to our overall wellbeing and is experienced when we can realise our abilities, cope with the normal stresses of life, work productively and fruitfully, and make a contribution to the entire school community.
