The Junior School operates from the Convent N.S. on Bridge and the Senior School from the Boy’s School in Abbeyquarter. The school is scheduled to move to a modern purpose built complex on the Abbeyquarter site in July 2012. Building works are currently ongoing on the school building under the stewardship of Kilcawley Construction, Sligo.
