Coláiste Éamann Rís-an Edmund Rice School.

All ready for our awards afternoon here in Coláiste Éamann Rís. Well done to all of our students who have done so fantastically well this year.

Today 60 of our 1st and 2nd years lined out to contest the annual Br Damien Cup. Arles, Westcourt, Mount Sion and Kilbride were represented as great skill and talent were on display. Br Damien would be proud to see so many young men enjoying their hurling ...his legacy lives on.

Thanks to these two- BBQ King & Queen, Mr Timmons & Mary. We couldn’t count the amount of food that has been cooked by their capable hands over the years & we thank them most sincerely for their time, good humour & energy. Best wishes to our lovely 6th years who graduate today👨‍🎓
