Avondale Community College

Open Night
The staff of Avondale Community College were delighted to meet
perspective students, parents and guardians during the school’s Open
Night on Tuesday 18, January. Following an informative talk by
principal Ms. Rosaleen O’Neill and other members of staff the visiting
students had the opportunity to explore the building and witness
student demonstrations in a variety of subjects . We were delighted
to give these young students the opportunity to see what second level
may hold in store and we look forward to seeing many of them in
September.
