About

CBS The Green is a Catholic all‑boys secondary school in Tralee serving over 800 pupils. The school combines contemporary, technology‑led learning with a strong foundation in the Edmund Rice tradition, fostering an inclusive climate where each boy is encouraged to develop his unique talents and character. Academic excellence is pursued alongside holistic development, with a focus on respect, understanding and community spirit, preparing students for lifelong learning and active contribution to society. The campus, modernised in 2012 and further enhanced by a €5 million capital development, offers state‑of‑the‑art classrooms, specialist laboratories and extensive sports and leisure facilities that support a high‑performance sporting tradition. Dedicated transition support, including base‑class tutors and year‑head liaison, eases the move from primary to secondary education, while a broad extracurricular programme—including robotics, drama, and community care—ensures a well‑rounded experience for every student.

History

The Green traces its roots to the Christian Brothers’ tradition founded by Edmund Rice, operating as a Catholic all‑boys secondary school. A significant milestone was the opening of a new modern architecturally designed campus in 2012, which blended with the historic school building and marked a major investment in facilities. Ongoing development, including a recent €5 million capital upgrade, reflects the school’s commitment to providing contemporary education within a heritage‑rich environment.
