Our Book Rental Scheme

St. Fiachra’s S.N.S have been operating a DES Book Rental Scheme since 2014/2015.This has proved very successful an will continue to be a feature in the school. All class texts are on the Book Rental Scheme (with the exception of
workbooks).

New entrants to St. Fiachra’s S.N.S have an initial outlay of €35. This outlay comprises of a €25 annual rental fee and a €10 deposit. The €10 deposit is returnable upon graduation from the school.

The aim of the scheme is to keep costs to a minimum during the back to school period when financial demands are a burden on families.
