01/09/04 New School Year begins

2.9.2004

Welcome to the new School Year 2004-2005, a significant year for Gormanston as it is our Golden Jubilee (more about that later). The College has re-opened with a student body numbering 604 as of today - a record. The College Prefects and Clann Prefects have spent a busy few days helping all the new students settle in. Thankfully the old hands can take care of themselves. The boarding numbers continue to rise, connected perhaps to the upgraded accommodation. Again, the College is proving popular with the international set due in no small part to the welcoming and friendly atmosphere which is much to the credit of all students. Our 4th Years do not return until Sunday.
