Our Lady's College Greenhills

What Our Lady's College Greenhills does

Our Lady's College Greenhills is a Catholic voluntary secondary school located in Greenhills, Drogheda, Co. Louth, Ireland. It operates under the CEIST (Catholic Education, an Irish Schools Trust) patron body and follows the Presentation Tradition founded by Nano Nagle, serving female students aged approximately 12-18 through the Irish secondary education framework. The school's core academic portfolio comprises the three-year Junior Cycle programme, the Senior Cycle Leaving Certificate programme, an optional Transition Year, and the vocational Leaving Certificate Applied (LCA) track. Subject offerings span Arts, Sciences, Business, Languages, and Technical subjects, complemented by a broad extracurricular catalogue covering GAA, Athletics, Swimming, Drama, Orchestra, Coding, Debating, and the Green-Schools environmental programme.

The school's business model rests on student enrollment and tuition/fees collected from parents/guardians through the Payzone online payment platform, with school management and parent communication handled via the Compass Education platform and staff/student authentication via Microsoft 365. Additional revenue and engagement streams include uniform and device procurement through the Wriggle store, a school lotto via ourfundraiser.ie, and alumni engagement initiatives such as the 'Women on Walls' programme featuring notable past pupils. The school is independently managed within the CEIST trust structure, with no disclosed VC/PE ownership and no publicly available financial reporting.

Customer segments are tightly defined: enrolled female students as primary learners, parents/guardians as fee-paying stakeholders, and prospective families reached via the prospectus, open days, and website-driven admissions funnel. Distribution is exclusively direct, single-site, and geographically anchored to Drogheda and the surrounding Louth/Meath region. The school's marketing channels — website, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and regular newsletters — serve a community-engagement and admissions-support function rather than commercial acquisition.
