A new building for Greystones Community National School has officially been opened.

Meanwhile, Minister and Wicklow TD Simon Harris says:
“I am glad to welcome the official opening of Greystones Community National School. The opening of this state-of-the-art building will be a great benefit to every student that attends the school, and with twenty-four classrooms, it will be well able to accommodate many of Greystone’s students. Greystones Community National School and its staff clearly demonstrate their commitment to providing the highest standard of education to their students, having received a stellar rating in their Literacy Evaluation from the Department of Education, and I know that this new building will serve a vital asset in continuing the school’s great track record. After many years, Greystones Community National School can continue to plan for their exciting future, with the foundation of a permanent home on which they can rely on.”
