History

Méanscoil Iognáid Rís is a voluntary secondary school under the trusteeship of the Edmund Rice Schools Trust (E.R.S.T).[1] The school, named after the founder of the order Edmund Rice, opened its doors in September 1871. The Moat Hall as it is now known was both monastery and school for the Brothers until 1903, when the monastery on Friary Road was built. For over seventy years both the primary and secondary schools were housed in the hall. In 1954 St. Corban's B.N.S was built and four years later the secondary school moved to its present site on St. Corban's Lane.[2]

Along with the many sports teams, the school has an active Green Schools Committee, a Yearbook Committee, and a successful Student Council.

Famous Past Pupils
gollark: Like the "online safety bill" and whatever policing things people are angry about here.
gollark: Yeeees, it seems like the particularly totalitarian stuff just gets shoved through without COVID-19 being hugely related.
gollark: But that seems inaccurate because politicians also probably look good/bad if they do well/badly against COVID-19 regardless.
gollark: If you were somewhat more cynical than me I guess you could think something like: updated vaccines aren't part of mainstream political discourse yet, they are unlikely to be unless there is deployment/development of them, and so politicians (who are optimizing for looking good according to said political discourse) don't care and don't do anything about the situation.
gollark: I said three things. Maybe I should retroactively use semicolons.
