Development
The Christian Brothers established a community
at Oatlands in 1951 and the first students were enrolled in September of that year. In
April, 1955, the students moved to the present location of the College which is a few
hundred metres from the Stillorgan Shopping Centre.
A single storey wing incorporating Science laboratories, a Geography room and extra
classrooms, was built in 1969. In 1980 a large modern Sports Hall was opened, thus adding
greatly to existing Sports' facilities which included three playing pitches and three
tennis courts.
In 1995, external fire escape stairways were added, a new central heating system was
installed and the whole school building was rewired. At present, a further extension is in
progress. New facilities include a Technology Laboratory, a Home Economics room, new
classrooms, offices and preparation rooms.
Curriculum innovations in recent years include the provision of a multi-station
computer room, the introduction of Technology, the option of a Transition Year programme
at the end of the Junior Cycle and the inclusion of vocational elements (LCVP) in the
Senior Cycle for students who are keen to learn skills relevant to business and
enterprise.
