There was history made in a Laois secondary school last week as they welcomed their first ever group of Sixth Year students.
It was a very first for Dunamase College on Friday as the Leaving Certs came through the door.
This group of 37 students and their parents took a leap of faith in 2017 as they embarked on their educational journey.
Management and staff of Dunamase College/Coláiste Dhún Másc say they are immensely proud of the achievements of this group thus far.
They look forward to guiding them through what will be a significant year in their studies.
The school is currently based in the centre of the town, and work has commenced on the new €24.5million 1,000 pupil school which will be located on the Timahoe Road.
Dunamase College is an English-medium, co educational, multidenominational school which includes an Aonad Lán-Gaeilge, where students can study all the subjects through Irish.
LOETB is the school Patron with An Forus Pátrúnachta as Trustee Partner. Dunamase College – Coláiste Dhún Másc is one of nine post primary schools under the patronage of LOETB, the largest education and training provider in Laois and Offaly.
