I like 1st year at Portlaoise College because all the staff and Meitheal leaders are really helpful. It was really easy to make friends. There is an extensive variety of extracurricular activities. This year I am taking part in volleyball. My favourite subject so far is Home Economics.

My sons are enjoying their time at the College both academically and socially. My eldest son went from a shy child to an outgoing young man now in 6th year. I am appreciative of the opportunities my sons got from studying in the school. I am thankful to all the staff and the great atmosphere
