Limited Places available for First Year in 2020

Local schools (in the Howth Deanery) have now applied through the Deanery form. However, each year there are a limited number of places for direct application to the school. Anyone may apply directly. The number of places is very limited, as Ardscoil La Salle makes a feature of small classes and an overall number which allows every student to know every other student. These 'extra' places are expected to be taken up very quickly. If you are interested please phone 01 848 0055 or email secretary@ardscoillasalle.ie .

Focus on Achievement - 5th Year Construction Studies Site Visit

Our 5th Year Construction Studies class had a great time visiting an active site! The construction manager on site gave them an engaging and informative tour. Our 5th Years got stuck in, asking questions and experiencing different aspects of the career first- hand from his perspective. They had an amazing time and no doubt we will be seeing a few of them with hard- hats and reflector vests on in the future!
