Greystones Community College in greystones, Co. Wicklow has decided to close their doors on 5th of may this year, four whole weeks ahead of all other schools that will remain open until June 3rd. The principal, Mr. Ruairi Farrell has said “Our students and teachers work really hard, and really deserve the extra break.
