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

TY students participated in SETU Carlow Street Law initiative. SETU continues to demonstrate its commitment to legal literacy and community engagement through the Street Law programme. Transition Year students were invited to SETU’s Carlow campus, where Sadhb Reddy and senior law (LLB and Business with Law) students delivered interactive legal education sessions.This initiative, facilitated by the Law Society of Ireland, empowers law students and trainee solicitors to bring legal education to schools, prisons, and community settings, fostering a deeper understanding of the law and its applications. Students had a really interesting workshop deciding and debating on a range of scenarios and deciding if it’s a crime or not. Students loved the experience and got a taste of studying Law. They also received a tour of the campus by some of the students. Thank you to PATH Administrator Aisling McHugh and Sadhb Reddy, Lecturer in Law at SETU.m for organising this event for the students. More TY classes will get the chance to experience this initiative in the next coming weeks #community#law initiative#equality

Oddballs Ambassador Ben Whelehan gave TY an excellent educational talk on testicular cancer. The presentation he delivers to schools around Ireland is trying to raise awareness about the signs and symptoms of testicular cancer and how important it is for young males to regularly check themselves for the signs he outlined. He quizzed the students after the talk and was impressed what they had learned during the presentation.#awareness#community#excellemceineducationTY classes participated in the Drivers Ed Programme this week with Jenny Woods Driving School.
