Enrolment Procedures

In January prior to the forthcoming academic year, contact is made with prospective students to First Year through visits to their schools. This is done primarily through the three all-Irish primary schools in the county. Parents are invited into the school for an Introductory Meeting, which usually takes place at the end of January. The first meeting will take place in Carrickmacross in November of the previous year Later in February an Open Night is held for parents and prospective students. Students may enrol on that night or for a reasonable period after this meeting.

Assessment
Students who have enrolled sit assessment tests in May. During September 1st Year students will be given the opportunity to sample all of the optional subjects before finalising their choices.

Enrolment Criteria
Enrolment will be accepted on the assumption that the school's Admissions Policy, Irish Language Policy and Code of Behaviour are accepted in full. Decisions made in relation to admissions are made by the Board of Management in accordance with school policy. Under the rules outlined by the Department of Education and Science secondary school students must be aged at least twelve years on the 1st of January in the calendar year following their entry into First Year.

Students must speak Irish only at school, in the playground, at lunchtime, on the school bus, at all extra curricular activities or on any other occasions when representing the school. Irish is the only medium of communication in the school between students and students, between teachers and teachers and between students and teachers. This is the cornerstone of our philosophy.

Transfer Criteria
Students may transfer to Coláiste Oiriall subject to:

1. Acceptance of Admissions Policy, Irish Language Policy and Code Of Behaviour
2. Satisfactory standard of spoken and written Irish.
3. Availability of space and Programme/Subject choices
4. There are sound educational reasons for the transfer
5. The B.O.M. regards the move as being in the best educational interests of the student and would not be harmful to an existing student or students.

Students transferring into 5th Year must have completed 4th Year (Transition Year) unless there are exceptional circumstances.

Modhanna Cláraithe

I mí Eanair roimh thús na scoilbhliana, déantar teangmháil le hábhar daltaí nua chéad bhliana trí chuairteanna a thabhairt ar na scoileanna.Déantar seo fríd an trí bhunscoil lánGhaeilge sa chontae.Tugtar cuireadh do thuismitheoirí teacht ag réamhchruinniú a bhíonn ar siúl go hiondúil ag deireadh mhí Eanair sa scoil.Níos moille i mí Feabhra bíonn cuireadh ag tuismitheoirí agus ag ábhar daltaí freastal ar Oíche Oscailte.  Is féidir le daltaí clárú ar an oíche sin nó ar feadh tamaill reasúnta ina dhiaidh.

Cuirfear na céimeanna céanna i bhfeidhm i gCarraig Mhachaire Rois ach cuirfear tús leo ansin roimh an Nollaig.

Measúnú

Bionn scrúdú measúnú le déanamh ag na daltaí nuachláraithe i mí na Bealtaine.Le linn mí Mhéan Fomhair tugtar deis do na daltaí seo samplóireacht a dhéanamh ar na hábhair roghnacha uilig sula ndéanann siad a gcuid roghanna féin.

Critéir Chláraithe

Nuair a chláraitear dalta tuigtear don scoil go nglactar go hiomlán le Polasaí Iontrála na scoile, Polasaí labhairt na Gaeilge agus an Cód Iompair.Déanann an Bord Bainistíochta breith ar iontráil chun na scoile de réir polasaí na scoile.De réir rialacha atá leagtha síos ag an Roinn Oideachais agus Eolaíochta caithfidh daltaí iarbhunscoile a bheith dhá bhliain déag ar a laghad ar an 1ú d’Eanair na bliana i ndiaidh dóibh gabháil isteach sa chéad bhliain.

Caithfidh daltaí Gaeilge amháin a labhairt ar scoil, sa chlós súgartha, ag am lóin, ar bhus na scoile, ag imeachtaí ar bith lasmuigh den scoil nó ar ocáid ar bith eile nuair atá said ann ar shon na scoile. Is í an Ghaeilge an t-aon mhéan cumarsáide sa scoil idir daltaí agus daltaí, idir múinteoirí agus múinteoirí agus idir daltaí agus múinteoirí.Tá seo mar bhunchloch ár bhfealsúnachta.

Critéir Aistrithe

Thig le daltaí aistriú go Colaíste Oiriall ar an tuiscint seo a leanas:

• Go nglacfar le Polasaí Iontrála na scoile, Polasaí Labhairt na Gaeilge agus an Cód Iompair.
• Go bhfuil caighdeán maith i labhairt agus i scríobh na Gaeilge aige.
• Go bhfuil spás ar fáil agus go bhfuil na roghanna cláracha agus ábhar ar fáil.
• Go bhfuil fáthanna maithe oideachasúla mar chúis leis an aistriú.
• Go dtuigtear don Bhord Bainsistiochta leis go rachaidh an t-aistriú chun sochair oideachasúla an dalta agus nach rachaidh sé chun dochair aon dalta nó daltaí eile atá ann faoi láthair

Caithfidh an ceathrú bliain (nó an Idirbhliain) a bheith déanta ag daltaí atá ag aistriú isteach go dtí an cúigiú bliain mura bhfuil cúiseanna eisceachtúla ann.
