History


The Christian Brothers arrived in Midleton in 1867 at the request of the parish priest who recognized the need of a dedicated school to educate the town's male youth. The local community provided donations for the cost of the construction and the school opened on 3 April 1867 with over 300 pupils joining in its first week.[2] The last of the Christian Brothers left the school in 2003, with the monastery and old school building being taken over by the Diocese of Cloyne for parish use.[3]


The school buildings were massively extended in the 2010s, in a project which cost €12.5 million.[4]
