Newpark Comprehensive School

I left in 1980 and it was simply a great experience — superb teachers and an air of ambition exuded from everyone and every thing about the place.
When I started in Trinity later on that year, almost 20 of my Newpark colleagues were there with me. There is not enough space here for me to describe the positive aspects of Newpark.
My form master, Dr John de Courcey Ireland, stood out amongst a list of great teachers. Even 33 years later, he is still remembered fondly by all that knew him.

Newpark was My secondary School, graduated in 2009, and I have to say, it was always such a positive experience. Newpark is such a vibrant community unto itself. Thriving Drama, Arts, Music and Sports scenes. In fact, that’s all too narrow — in Newpark, you can be involved in a whole plethora of activities/​hobbies, and if there isnt a group set up for it already, you could start your own. The best thing about Newpark was that you got out what you put in. All of the teachers were always so supportive, and would bend over backwards to help you. As regards the last comment, all schools have bullying issues, and Newpark has in place several policies for dealing with Bullying. I still go back to Newpark occasionally, mostly due to involvement in the past pupil’s Theatre Company (another great facet of Newparks huge community) and I would reccomend Newpark in a heartbeat.

This school had a serious bullying problem when I attended it. Since NONE of the teachers in question have left since, I’d advise caution.
