    Hi There

    We are considering buying in Lucan and have narrowed our search down to a few estates in the above parishes.

    Can any one tell me what the schools are like in these parishes?

    Thanks

    Julie

    I'm afraid that it's over 20 years since I was in St Thomas's or St. Anne's schools in Esker :)

    St. Thomas's school caters for junior infants to second class and then St. Anne's caters for third to sixth class. There is also a primary school in Airlie Heights, not sure what the age ranges are there.

    Both St. Thomas and St. Annes have changed a lot since I was there, I don't imagine any of the teachers that taught me are still there but back then I really enjoyed the atmosphere in the schools. Not sure what they are like today. Maybe this reply will bump some interest in the thread?

    The one in airlie heights is junior to sixth class. Its smaller that the other two (combined) but it is getting a two story extension in the near future

    Oh there are still some old faces alright! I've been teaching in Scoil Aine (St. Anne's, Esker) for about 8 years now and I love meeting past pupils who still rave about their teachers there! There's quite a few of them still there but many younger teachers too.

    I think it's a great school. :p Brilliant facililtes and the teachers are invested in their students with many lunch time/after school activites.

    ^^Same with st. mary's B.N.S.

    at least when I was there 15 years ago. Noel Noonan is still the principal I believe. Very genuine and decent man, remembers every student's name who ever went there. This is with a student population of 500-600

    I went to St.Mary's GNS too and loved every minute of it! The atmosphere is so friendly...like on big family always supporting each other to give 100%. A lot of the teachers I had are still there and although a bit older now are still as enthusiastic as ever. My best friend went to St.Mary's BNS and loved it but I don't think the boys did as well academically there as it wasn't seen as 'cool'.
