Our Open Night will take place in the school on the November 28th from 7 p.m.
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 .
The Respect Effect
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.
School iClass App
Please see below links to both the app store and a handy PDF guide to set up our new school app. The app is to be used for all absences. The PDF guide will help you download the app onto your device and set up an account. Students should select "other" when given the option of Parent/Teacher/Other. Once you have downloaded the app, you will require the validation code.

It is envisaged that all school/communications will migrate to the school app in the very near future, so I am asking all parents/guardians to download the app as soon as possible.

Abbey CC First Year Animation.MOVGaisce Awards:
Two fifth year students, Anna McGrath and Caoimhe Reilly received their Gaisce Bronze Award recently from Gasice Leader, Ms Cronin. The girls completed their award in Transition Year which involved four different activities. They had to undertake an adventure journey which involved cycling and hiking, learning a personal skill, participation in a physical activity and participating in a community activity on a voluntary basis. Two of the three skills had to be completed for 13 weeks each and the third skill had to be completed for 26 weeks. It takes a lot of commitment to complete all the activities and keep a log of weekly progress, so well done girls. Any TYs interested in participating in Gasice this year can contact Ms Cronin for more information.

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.
