Our School

Our History

Coláiste Éamann Rís is the oldest school on Cork’s southside. Originally founded in 1828 on Sullivan’s Quay by the Christian Brothers, our school has evolved over the years to meet the changing needs of Cork City and its young people.

In September 2019, our school was rededicated and became Coláiste Éamann Rís – the first English speaking co-educational Catholic secondary school in Cork City. Coláiste Éamann Rís is Irish for Edmund Rice College – the decision to change our name was linked to our change in status as a co-educational school and to honour our school’s founder, Blessed Edmund Rice.
