new building

As a recently sanctioned school, the Department of Education and Skills are committed to providing CETSS with a modern, fully-resourced school building. This school will be located in the Douglas/ Rochestown/ Frankfield area, as this corresponds to our catchment area.

The Department bought a site in Douglas, for which full planning permission was granted in the spring of 2024. The next step is the tendering process and the the full build can commence. We estimate that it will be delivered in the 2027/8 academic year.

In the interim we are located in Griffith College Campus, Wellington Road, Cork.

'New builds' are all owned by the state and leased on a long-term basis to various patronage bodies. These buildings follow set specifications. If you'd like to see a building that is comparable to that which we are promised, please watch this video of Ballymakenny College, a newly opened Educate Together/ETB secondary school:
