Blackrock College

OK so rugby is a big thing here… what with the history and all, I can assure you they will let you know whether you ask them or not.
But to put that aside there is also a lot more to look at. The grounds are fairly huge for a secondary school in the Dublin area, and recent developments now mean that there is a state of the art running track as well as football and rugby pitches (mainly rugby wouldn’t you know).
The school itself has had a major renovation over the past few years, and this is ongoing i believe. The school is slowly becoming one of the best equipped in the country and continues to rank highly in results every year.
Other gems include the College chapel built by the original French order that founded the school in the first place.
But yea… ridiculed a lot because they are not afraid to speak their mind … its just a pity they speak «loike» this. (which isn’t true also. they are not all like that… i should know.)

Probably the most famous school in Ireland. A place where rugby players are deified and elites are made. It’s also probably the most ridiculed school in Ireland, thanks to Ross O’Carroll-Kelly’s popularity (check out what his initials spell by the way!) Rugby is not a sport here, it’s a way of life — and senior cup matches are the focal points of the year. Of course, there’s the annual musical with Mount Anville (the girlie version of ‘Rock), where sets and lighting put many amateur dramatic groups to shame. Oh, and it’s got an academic side too, don’t you know?!
