History

The college was founded by the Presentation Sisters in 1942. It initially started in a disused army hut behind the presbytery. In 2017, it celebrated 75 years operation.[1]

In 2007, the college began operating under the trusteeship of CEIST Catholic Education an Irish Schools Trust.

Infrastructure

A large school gym was built in the late 1980s at a cost of £64,000 which accommodates physical education classes, theatrical acts, and other events.

The school building is antiquated and the corridors are narrow. A new school building was built in 2010, and it houses a number of classrooms and a hall in which students can study or eat at lunch. It is also home to a state of the art table tennis hall.

There is a school canteen on campus which can seat 300 students, and employs five staff.

gollark: It has useful RoC stuff, like the world rifts.
gollark: Well, that might make it lighter, though I really want to play something with it some time.
gollark: Since it's old, I can get really cheap DDR3, but I have no idea how to get the case open.
