Principals Simon Carey, Deborah Crean and Ruairí Farrell
ress release from all three of Greystones secondary schools, issued 
on Tuesday, Sept 16th 2025…
The Principals of St David’s Holy Faith Secondary School, Temple Carrig School, and Greystones Community College wish to update families in Greystones on the admissions process for entry into 1st Year 2026/2027.
Key Dates and Places Available
New Pilot Single Application System
The new system will allow the Department to identify potential capacity issues earlier in the process.
AS Class Admissions
Parents/guardians wishing to apply for an AS class should follow the same www.applytoschool.ie process indicating that they are applying for a place in the school’s AS class.
We ask families who may receive more than one offer to decide promptly on their preferred school and to decline any additional offers. Holding multiple places delays allocations for other families. If a student is found to have accepted places in two or more Greystones schools, parents will be contacted directly and asked to confirm their decision in writing immediately.
These evenings will give families the opportunity to meet staff, view facilities, and learn more

It still allows for sectarian screening, how far we have come.
This is the problem we needed solved: “This is not a “common application system”. Each school will continue to apply its own admissions policy and criteria, as in previous years. As in previous years, it is our recommendation that parents in Greystones should apply to all three schools… We ask families who may receive more than one offer to decide promptly on their preferred school and to decline any additional offers.”
What was the benefit of this single application? We’ll do our best anyway!
