Please also note the following important information regarding the Summer School:

• Due to physical limitation of the facilities; and for health, safety and protection reasons; a prior confirmed registration is required for all attendees, including both boarding-visitors as well as day-visitors. When the number of registered people reaches the planned capacity for the school, the registration will close and unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate additional friends.
  
• Kilkenny College have informed us that they are unable to accommodate camping, camper vans or self-catering on their premises this year.
  
• As per previous Summer Schools, there are exciting programmes for Adult/Youth, Junior Youth and Childrencurrently being prepared. Additional information regarding the programme and the school generally will be continuously added to the website as details become finalized, so it is worth a quick browse now and then.
  
• We are unable to offer creche facility at Summer School. With changes in regulations in recent years it is currently not possible to meet the mandatory requirement to provide this service. We aim to provide a room for parents with babies and toddlers.
  
• If you intend to work with under 18s or vulnerable adults at the school, you need to be registered and Garda vetted. If you are not registered, or if your registration has expired, you should contact gardavetting@bahai.ie as quickly as possible.
  
• While we will endeavor to accommodate all friends, accommodation priority will be given to people attending for the full duration of the school to maximise the use of the facilities available.
  
• Please refer to the ‘Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)’, as well as the ‘School Policies’ section of the site for additional important information.
