Dear Parents/Guardians & Students,
CAO Offers
We would like to congratulate our students who were offered their courses of choice following the first round of CAO offers yesterday. The results our students achieve on an annual basis allows access to all of the top-end academic courses at 3rd level. With so many of our students achieving in excess of 400, 500 and 600 points, many of our students will gain access to their preferred courses in the 1st round of offers. We look forward to hearing how they progress with their courses.

Parents are asked to note that supervised study will begin on Monday 19 September 2022. Priority will be given to 3rd and 6th Year students. A link will be sent to students via their @glanmirecollege.com email. Once students are accepted a link will be sent to parents via Way2Pay.

GDPR – Students Over 18 Years of Age
Please click on the link below to view a letter sent to students who are over 18 via their @glanmirecollege.com email outlining the school’s responsibilities about how we manage their personal data. As a student, who has turned 18, the student must now indicate their willingness to continue to share their personal data with their Parents/Guardians. Students have been asked to read the letter carefully and then to complete a Google Form indicating their decision. Once we process the responses, parents/guardians will be notified by text of their son/daughter’s wishes.
