St. Colman's College Newry.

Dear P7 Pupils and Parents/Guardians

I hope that you and your family are keeping safe and well.Usually at this time of year we would have had our Open Day along with a number of Primary School Activity Days.

Unfortunately, for the second year in a row, we have been unable to host these and there has been little opportunity to meet and talk with you in person.

Instead, and in order to try to give you a flavour of what St. Colman’s College is like, we have put together some online resources which hopefully you will enjoy.

Our Video Prospectus can be found at St Colman's College, Violet Hill Virtual Open Day Video 2022 - YouTube
Please follow this link to our College website where you will find links to lots of information about our school
St. Colman’s College Website.

Our online prospectus can be found at this link:

Our Admissions Criteria for the academic year 2021-22 is available at Admissions 2022-23 (stcolmans.org.uk)

Parents/guardians can visit https://www.eani.org.uk/parents/admissions/post-primary-admissions-guide to view the admissions criteria for all post primary schools on the EA website as well as a video and general guidance on the transfer procedure. The Transfer Procedure is online for 2022-23 admissions, with information on the process available from the EA.

We know that none of this information replaces visiting St. Colman’s College in person, but hopefully you will get a sense of what the Violet Hill Community is like through visiting these links along with viewing our Tweets on our Twitter feed, @st_colmans

Best wishes to all with the decisions you will be making over the next few weeks.
If you have any queries, you can contact me through the College Reception 02830262451 or info@stcolmans.org.uk.

Yours faithfully
