Approval of a major new school development paves the way for co-ed secondary education in Callan.
The Department of Education and Skills has given the go-ahead for new classrooms and facilities that will form part of the new Coláiste Abhainn Rí.
Opening in September 2022, the school will be an amalgamation of the two current secondary schools in Callan - Coláiste Éamann Rís and St Brigid’s College.
The new school will be located on the current St Brigid’s College campus.
New facilities that have now been approved by the Department of Education and Skills include six new classrooms as well as specialised subject rooms for woodwork, technical graphics and a science lab, along with store rooms and toilet facilities for both staff and students.
