Our rules and regulations help to ensure a safe and happy environment so all can learn and enjoy. Parents / Guardians please review the rules and regulations with your child(ren);

1. Students who do not make a sincere and honest effort to speak Irish will not be allowed to remain on the Cúrsa. This must be clearly understood by both parents and students.

1. Students will have limited access to their mobile phones during the course (approx 45 minutes per day – 6.30pm to 7.15pm).  

Otherwise phones will be securely stored by Coláiste na Rinne. Parents can contact students through the Main Office Number 058 46128 throughout the day if necessary.

1. Students may not…

• be absent from the course OVERNIGHT without permission
• leave the defined areas in which the course operates without specific prior written consent of their parents/guardians by email and special permission from An Oifig here. Permission by phone is not satisfactory.
• visit licensed premises, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, orbe in possession of alcohol/cigarettes/illegal substances while on the Cúrsa.
• have in their possession, hair straighteners, ipods, drones etc.
• bring any food, sweets, etc. into the dormitories on campus.
• bring nuts or products containing nuts onto the Coláiste campus. Coláiste na Rinne is a nut free campus due to the risk posed to students with a food allergy.
• use chewing gum or have it in their possession for reasons of hygiene.
• become involved in, or encourage, inappropriate or anti-social behaviour.
• students will be liable for any damage to property.

1. Students staying at Coláiste na Rinne should provide…

• duvet, one pair of sheets, a pillow case and a towel,
• rainwear,
• personal sports equipment, musical instruments etc., to avail of our facilities,
• hard covered copybook and biro.

1. Students may bring a debit/credit/Revolute card and/or some cash as pocket money. Cash must be lodged in the Coláiste “Bank” at the start of the course. The “Bank” is open from Monday – Friday 09.15 – 10.00 only.

1. Company keeping – of an exclusive nature – is not allowed and decorum is expected in behaviour and dress.

1. Good conduct is expected at all times. Infringement of Coláiste Rules are investigated by An Bord Smachta. As outlined in our Cód Smachta, there is a balanced approach to the disciplinary process. Where there is repeated transgression or a serious transgression of rules the matter is referred to An Príomhoide and the parents are contacted if deemed appropriate. Coláiste reserves the right to terminate the stay of any student for serious/persistent violation of Coláiste rules for any other reason judged to be in the interest of the common good.

1. Where an issue which raises questions regarding the Coláiste’s ability to appropriately care for a student comes to light during a course, and this issue was not disclosed in the Health Form prior to the start of the course, this may result in the termination of a student’s stay in the Coláiste due to the Coláiste being denied the opportunity to properly plan and prepare to accommodate a student’s needs.

1. Students are required to be punctual in relation to all aspects of the Coláiste timetable.

1. The Rules and Regulations apply equally to all students in the Coláiste, day pupils and  those accommodated with Host Families.
