Principal Ciaran Keegan spoke to KFM: "We get the keys on Friday February 18th, first day we will be in the new building is the 2nd March.

"The new facilities total 10, 500sqm.

"57 learning spaces, with two art rooms, two woodwork rooms and the list goes on and on.

"The school will have the capacity to go to 1000 students, and we are likely to hit that within 3 years.
