Welcome to Carrick-on-Shannon Community School

The school was established in 1994 with the aim of providing a comprehensive post-primary education to all children of the community regardless of intellectual ability, religious background or family means. The building and its extensive grounds are located in Summerhill, just off the N4’s southern approach to the town.

'Use Your Brain Not Your Fists' Film Launch

We were privileged to attend the launch of the Use Your Brain Not Your Fists film in The Bush Hotel on the 27th April 2018.

The short film, by Leitrim Comhairle na nÓg, highlights the devastating consequences that can occur when a person uses their fists instead of their brains in a conflict situation. The film is dedicated to Shane Grogan and to the memory of Andrew Dolan. Both Andrew and Shane were victims of seperate unprovoked assaults while enjoying time out with their friends. Andrew died as a result of the assault while Shane was left with brain injuries. Both Shane's and Andrew's parents attended the launch and shared their personal stories with us.

Please click on the link to watch the video and remind everyone to Use Your Brain Not Your Fists.

Why are there no pictures?

08 Sep 2018

We are often asked, "Why are there no pictures of students on your website?"

We took the decision a number of years ago that as part of our Child Protection procedures we would not publish pictures of our students on the Carrick-on-Shannon Community School website.

While we would love to publish the pictures of our students celebrating their successes in the State Examinations or on the playing field, we believe that it is not appropriate for these images to be made available to the world via the internet.

All students should remain at home on Tuesday next, 11th September 2018 as our staff will be attending training with the Junior Cycle for Teachers team on that day.
