Staff, students and educational partners have gathered to officially open the new €1.7million extension at Borris Vocational School, marking a new chapter in its development. READ MORE BELOW
The ribbon-cutting honour was undertaken by Cllr. Fergal Browne in his capacity as chairperson of Kilkenny and Carlow Education and Training Board (KCETB). Borris Vocational School is under the auspices of KCETB which is also patron of an additional 12
post-primary schools and operates further education and training provision across the two counties of Kilkenny and Carlow.
The happy occasion took place during the inaugural ETB Week, a week-long celebration of KCETB’s students, staff, and services to mark ten years since it was established.
The 508m² extension at Borris Vocational School comprises three classrooms, staff and student bathrooms, a special education class, and an autism special class called Le Chéile.
Designed by Dermot Geoghan Architects and built by Nolan Construction, the extension will cater for the needs of the school’s 542 students and 60 staff members.
