Extra-Curricular Activites:

Our dedicated staff provides a wide range of after-school and extra-curricular activities to suit all interests. We have a proud sporting tradition and many of our pupils have gone on to wear the blue of Dublin and the green of Ireland in sports such as hurling Gaelic Football, soccer and table tennis. Throughout the year, classes in art, drama and science are also available and no event or ceremony is ever complete without the music provided by our amazing school choir.

Rising Academic Standards:

The boys in our school enjoy great facilities, dedicated staff and a large range of activites designed to offer a wholistic education. That said, improving in core areas is always important. As you can see from the graph below, our most recent standardised test results show that our pupils are above the national average in both literacy and numeracy.
