Attendance at School:
Regular attendance at school is a positive indicator of a pupil’s commitment to their studies. Parents are asked to support their children in arriving at school, on time, every day and to avoid taking a student from school during the school day, unless it is absolutely necessary.
We reward good attendance through various incentives including Movie parties, pizza parties and Shop LK Vouchers.

Student Journal
We at Errigal College consider the Student Journal as a very important resource for all our students. Students are required to have their student journal with them at all times throughout the school day, and it must be visibly on your desk throughout every class.
The Student Journal provides students with information on the School Code of Behaviour, Assessment, Timetables, study techniques, health & wellbeing, and Anti-bullying.
School Book Scheme
In 2024, the Government introduced a new scheme from the start of the 2024-2025 school year. Under this scheme all schoolbooks and core classroom resources for students in Junior Cycle years in post-primary schools are provided to students directly by their school. There is no charge to parents/guardians for this.
We offer a book rental scheme to all Senior Cycle students enrolled in Errigal College.
In 2025, the Government extended the Junior Cycle School Book scheme to Senior Cycle from the start of the 2025-2026 school year. Under this scheme all schoolbooks and core classroom resources for students in Senior Cycle years in post-primary schools are provided to students directly by their school. There is no charge to parents/guardians for this.
Lockers
At the beginning of the Academic year, each student is provided with a combination lock and code. It is extremely important that students keep their code safe and do not let others know what their combination is.
Quick Guide on how to use your Combination Lock:
- Step 1 – 3 full turns clockwise (to your right)
- Step 2 – After 3 full turns, continue clockwise to the 1st number of your code
- Step 3 – Going anti-clockwise (to your left) go to your second number, but you must pass your 1st number first
- Step 4 – Clockwise, go directly, to the last number of your code
(If you pass your number by mistake you must begin all over again with 3 full turns clockwise)
It is the student’s own responsibility to look after their locker and the contents of the locker. No items should be lying on the floor around your locker, or they will be removed.
