There are seven classes and one AS class joining the already established Dunamase College.
The school has grown vastly in the past five years since it was first established in 2017.

Meanwhile, First Years in Knockbeg were greeted by Principal Mr Carew, Vice Principal Mr Ronan, Year Head Mr Conway, and their Class teachers last week.
The students then met with their Meitheal Leaders, who gave them a tour of our campus.
A day of fun and activity followed in the glorious sunshine outside on our sports pitches.
