Edmund Rice College, Carrigaline

Our school is called Edmund Rice College but we often call it E.R.C. for short!

E.R.C. is a school for both girls and boys. When you join us we will have approximately 250

students in our school, made up of first years, second years and third years.

Edmund Rice College is a new school which means at the moment we do not have any fourth

year, fifth year or sixth year students.

The Staff

We have approximately 30 teachers and Special Needs Assistants (SNAs) who help us in

school. You might meet a lot of them on the day of the entrance assessment but you will get

to know them very well when you begin school here after the Summer holidays.

This is our Principal, Ms Flynn This is our Deputy Principal, Mr Hyde

This is our SEN Co-ordinator, Ms Cronin,

who helps us in Learning Support classes.

In School

through our school gates

This photograph shows the outside

of the school building. We enter

the school through the main glass

door at the top of the steps.

When we enter the school through

the main door it leads into a big

open space which we call the

Atrium.

There is a stairs in the Atrium that leads to the top floor of the school. We always walk on the

left side of this stairway so that people can move easily up and down the stairs carefully.

This photograph shows the main staircase to the top floor

of the school.

Specialist Classrooms

We have lots of regular classrooms but we also have specialist classrooms in our school. This

is one of the differences between Primary School and Secondary School. We move to a

different classroom for each subject. The movement between each class helps us concentrate

more during the day.
