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 .
Congratulations to all our class of 2025 who had their graduations evening and mass on Friday 16th May. Well done to Emma Kelly, recipient of the Mercy Award, and Anna McGrath Leaving Cert Student of the Year.
New data published by Tusla Education Support Services (TESS) shows that one in five children in primary and post-primary school are missing a month or more of their school year. The figures come as TESS and the Department of Education and Youth launch a national multimedia campaign to highlight this nationwide issue and create awareness about the importance of attending school.
A new support page has been developed in collaboration with key stakeholders and is available for parents and schools at gov.ie/SchoolAttendance with helpful guidance on many issues affecting school attendance.
This anti-bullying educational resource is designed to support teachers in addressing the learning outcomes within the Junior Cycle SPHE course that relate to online bullying and abusive behaviour and to empower students to take action against online bullying, through their own positive actions and behaviours.

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.

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.
