School Books and Stationery

Junior cycle students do not need to purchase any books or stationery. This will be provided for all Junior Cycle students on their return to school.

School Uniform

Full school uniform must be worn by students at all times. No other option is acceptable and students not in school uniform may be sent to the library and not allowed into class.

A student in partial uniform may be given a uniform pass by the Principal or Deputy Principal and allowed to class for that day. A note is necessary explaining why the full uniform is not worn. A penalty point will accrue if no note is given.

Any student not in full school uniform will not be allowed to represent the school at an event.

The school uniform can be purchased from D. Biggins Fashions and Ken Murphy's in Ballinrobe.

P.E. Gear

1st, 2nd and 3rd Years - PE kit consists of PE sweatshirt (blue with crest), plain white polo shirt/T-shirt, black/navy tracksuit pants, shorts and sports trainers (as a good hygiene practice these should not be the same shoes worn to class).

TY/5th/6th Years - Sweatshirt/Hoodie, polo-shirt/T-shirt/jersey, tracksuit pants, shorts and sports trainers (as a good hygiene practice these should not be the same shoes worn to class).

Students without appropriate kit will be given penalty points.

The school reserves the sole right to specify what jewellery and accessories are worn by students.

School Jacket

Only a plain, black jacket is allowed. The jacket cannot have stripes, patterns, large logos, or fur. Navy or grey is not permitted. The policy regarding a plain jacket ensures all families can choose a comfortable jacket within their own budget. This degree of flexibility means we will not accept a jacket that does not adhere to these guidelines. A jacket that does not adhere to these guidelines will be confiscated from the student, and penalty points issued. If it is a recurring issue, the confiscated jacket will only be returned to a parent/guardian.

School Shoes

Below are some examples of acceptable shoes.
