Greystones Community College School Reopening 2022
Greystones Community College was in the fortunate position to be able to fully re-open for all students on Thursday January 6th 2022. There were a very small number of students and staff who could not attend school in-person but students who were isolating were able to join their classes live from home and, as a result, teaching and learning continued across all classes.
Parent Teacher Student Meetings
January is the month for our 1st year parent teacher student meetings. The first round of meetings were successfully held - virtually - on Thursday 13th January using Google Meet. Parents were given the opportunity to have short face-to-face meetings with all of their child’s core teachers and formative feedback was provided with goals also set for future improvement. The teaching staff look forward to collaborating with the parent body at the next round of individual meetings on January 20th for 1 Hamilton and 1 Milner classes.

This week, the school were happy to have been able to mark the December Bunchloch Award 1st Year Winners' success at a special outdoor assembly.

Greystones Community College Maths Support Centre
Greystones Community College, under the leadership of Ms Rebecca Wray, are proud to have launched the Maths Support Centre. The Support Centre is open every Wednesday after school from 1pm to 1:30pm. The premise of the initiative is to offer support to students with homework or assignments and equally to challenge those with an interest in problem-solving and critical thinking by entering upcoming maths-centred competitions. This is as a drop in-centre and attendance is optional. The Centre is open to both year groups and the focus of support is student-led, thus creating an opportunity for our students to take the lead on their own progression in learning.
Greystones Community College Expands its Extra-Curricular Offering
Whilst continuing to observe all covid precautions, Greystones Community College is fortunate to have been able to expand its extra-curricular offering, with the introduction of CAD Club. Led by Mr Daniel Milner and open to all students, CAD Club allows club members to delve into the exciting world of computer-aided design after school on Wednesday afternoons. We look forward to seeing the innovative projects which will undoubtedly flow from the club very soon.
