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 student Daniel Lawler along with other students in various schools successfully completed TY Media week at the BEAT 102-103 FM regional radio station. Daniel was among 14 students selected from over 150 applications received from all over the South East. The media literacy programme is supported by Comisiun na Meán and is devised by national training network Learning Waves and Beat 102-103. During the week, the secondary school students learned how to critically analyse content that is published on their social media feed along with how to edit and hone their presentation skills. All of the students worked together to produce an end of week audio programme which was broadcast on Beat on November 20th and 21st. For their programmes the students explored a variety of topics spanning from local musicians, sports, and theatre to delving into Irish cultural quirks. Before engaging in conversations with professionals, they hit the streets of Waterford to conduct enlightening vox pops, to gauge the publics opinion on their topics. They also conducted interviews with a spectrum of individuals, including lecturers from SETU, business professionals, and content creators. The students posed thought-provoking questions, such as the relationship between sports and theatre, favourite Irish phrases, the impact of ads on social media, and much more. Well done Daniel !!#commmunity#mediaWell done to our brilliant U16 & U19 Girls’ Basketball teams who won their semi-finals last week. Both teams are now through the Midlands C Girls’ Finals in St Mary’s Hall Portlaoise Tuesday 28th of Nov. Congratulations to their coaches Ms. Moore, Ms. O’Neill and Ms. Doyle. THE VERY BEST OF LUCK IN THE FINAL 🔵🟡🏆🏆🔵🟡Personal Safety and Awareness Workshops with Alex Walsh. TY students really enjoyed the workshops and were so engaged by Alex as always. #community#make thedifference#staysafeTY Winfrey using their empathy, listening and group work skills to solve a mystery in modules class today.This year two Second Year students Wren Stynes and Zora Stojakovic decided to enter the BT Young Scientist Competition 2024. They worked on their project from the end of First Year, throughout the summer and submitted their proposal in October.Their project title is: “Is TikTok the next pandemic?” Their project qualified for the competition and it was one of 550 projects chosen out of a huge 2040.
This is an amazing achievement and it is the first time that Tyndall College has ever had an entry into the competition and Zora and Wren are making history by being the first students in Tyndall to ever qualify for the competition.
Tyndall College is also one out of only two schools in Carlow that has qualified for the competition.
They will go on to represent the school in the RDS in Dublin in January where they will present their project diary, report book, 3 minute video and visual display on their project. They are going to research the effect that TikTok has on students mental health and well being.
The girls have been working on their project for many months now and aim to survey over 1000 students in the south east region. They will also carry out an experiment on the algorithm and investigate how different videos come up on the app for you to watch based on your previous interactions with other videos. In this way TikTok encourages you to stay on the app longer. They will work on all these elements of their project over the next few months and then it will all be presented to the judges on January 10th. #kcetb #etbexcellenceineducation
Huge congratulations to our under 16 boys basketball team who won their South East quarter final last week. They are the first team in boys basketball to get to this stage of the C competition for Tyndall. It was a very tough game away vs St. Paul’s Community College Waterford with both teams going ahead at different stages of the game. Tyndall finished very strong and secured a 35-32 win which had the whole team up celebrating on the court after the buzzer. We look forward to a semi final now away vs St. Peters College Wexford this week 💪👏🏀#tyndallsport #tyndallcollege #tyndallbasketball #Respect #Community #Care
