Congratulations to St. Leo’s College, Carlow on the Official Opening of their new extension.

 

'Solas' was officially opened by the Minister for Education, Ruairi Quinn TD, on 29^th January. The name ‘Solas’ (Irish for Light) reflects the light, space and spirit of the new building. Equally it reflects a new departure in the evolution of St Leo's College. 

 

Thanks to a Prefab Replacement grant worth over €1 million, the new building will provide six new Classrooms, a Technology Room, Science Lab and a Library. In addition to the new building, some refurbishment to the original building was also undertaken in the existing Music Room and Physics lab as well as the development of a new Hair and Beauty Salon to offer Hair and Beauty to Leaving Certificate Applied class.

 

The building works were delivered 6 weeks ahead schedule just in time for the new school term last September.
