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.
