I have just been contacted by a second couple from my local National School who have realised that their 6th Class Child has no Secondary School Placing for September. I am on the Parents Committee of St. Louis Secondary School.
If your child is aged 7 or upwards you really need to decide where you want them to go to Secondary School and get them enrolled asap. The Voluntary Private Schools (Louis, Vincents, Marist, CBS) decided on the number of places that they have available. Once they reach that number there is nothing that you can do.
The Dundalk Schools were expected to reach saturation of numbers by 2013 but with Dunleer restricting their application zone, this is now a reality. Avoid heart-break and don’t put making your application on the long finger!
