The
school is situated on the former Lyle estate on the outskirts of Donaghmore
village. There are 500 pupils from a wide catchment area ranging
from Dunamore in the north to Benburb in the south and from Carrickmore
to Portadown. The majority are from the immediate area, and from
Dungannon, Coalisland and the " low country." There are 32 full time and
3 part-time teachers, all but two teaching their specialist subjects.
In addition, we have one French assistante. Sister Mary Brogan, is
our counsellor and mentor.
CANTEEN
The newly extended
school canteen provides hot lunch on a cash cafeteria basis. Those paying
do so one week in advance. Those children who choose to bring a pack
lunch have a provided facility to eat same.
INTAKE POLICY AND INDUCTION
Pupils range in age from
11-18 years. We do not accept children who require specialist or remedial
teaching, which we cannot provide. Some parents make a provisional
booking up to one year ahead, some on open night. This is recommended
in the light of capacity limits on all schools. It is provisional
on the school’s acceptance. Others we first meet at the night for
new pupils in June, when children come with their parents or guardians
to meet their form teacher, be allocated their classes, receive the student
guidelines and uniform list. Parents are welcome to stay with First
Year pupils on the first day if they so wish.
