There are two post-primary schools in Celbridge — the Salesian College with an enrolment of 642 boys and St. Wolstan's College, managed by the Holy Faith Sisters, with an enrolment of 512 girls. My Department has agreed to grant-aid the provision of additional accommodation at the Salesian College, Celbridge, to cater for its increased enrolment.
The question of providing post-primary facilities for girls, both to replace the existing accommodation at St. Wolstan's secondary school and to cater for the increasing demand for pupil places in the Celbridge area, is being examined by my Department in the light of the announcement by the Holy Faith Sisters of their intention to withdraw from management of their school.
