Message from Our Principal
Hello and welcome to the Tyndall College website.
I trust that you will find the answers to any queries you may have while navigating our new look, updated and user-friendly website.
At Tyndall College we aim to provide the best education possible for your child in preparing them for their pathway in life. So whether it is moving on to a Third Level College, doing a Post Leaving Certificate Course, Apprenticeship or directly to the world of work, we will do our best to prepare you.
Every aspect of daily life in Tyndall College is encompassed in our motto “Everyone is Welcome Here”. The motto was designed by our students and demonstrates how all members of our school community are treated with respect.
As Principal of Tyndall College, I want our students to have a positive experience in school. I want our students to be happy. Our dedicated staff work hard daily to ensure that not only the educational aspects of school life are looked after but also the social and emotional wellbeing of our students is very much to the forefront.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the Staff, Board of Management and our patron, Kilkenny & Carlow Education and Training Board to thank you for taking the time to look at our website.
Gerry McGill, Principal

Well done to a group of TY students who have have made us proud by winning the Best Movie title at the Rubbish Festival in County Carlow—a celebration of creativity, sustainability, and youth-led environmental action.For those who may not be familiar, the Rubbish Festival is a unique initiative that challenges students across the county to think critically about waste, climate action, and the role we all play in protecting our planet. It’s not just about picking up litter—it’s about reimagining how we live, how we consume, and how we inspire change in others.
This year’s competition invited schools to create a one-minute video promoting environmental awareness, and our students stepped up in the most creative and impactful way possible. Their winning film, Be the Change, is more than just a message—it’s a call to action. In just 60 seconds, they managed to capture the urgency, the hope, and the power we all have to make a difference.
Winning Best Movie in a county-wide competition is no small feat. It speaks volumes about the talent, teamwork, and passion of our students. To each and every one of you involved in the project—well done. You’ve proven that youth voices matter, that action begins in our schools, and that change is possible when we dare to imagine it.
Once again, congratulations. You’ve made our school and community incredibly proud. Keep being the change. Link : youtu.be/4_20xEWVVw8 ... See MoreSee Less

⛳ Tyndall College Golf Society’s First Outing! ⛳Our students had a great day out at Carlow Golf Club last week for our first-ever golf trip! Plenty of good shots, a few tricky ones, and lots of fun along the way. They also showed fantastic golf etiquette—respecting the course, their fellow players, and the game itself.
Looking forward to more days on the course!
