It is with great pride I welcome you to the new Edmund Rice College web site. I hope this will give you a snapshot into our school life. When I speak of the school there are many qualities that comes to mind but three of the most important are:
Pupils will be happy
Pupils will feel safe
Effective teaching and learning takes place
The pastoral care system is characterized by the excellent relationships which exist between the students, staff and parents. It is only in such an environment that children can flourish and fully develop their God given talents.
We have served North Belfast and greater Glengormley area for over a quarter of a century. In this time, the College has developed a great tradition for sport, the creative arts and academic achievements. we have won numerous All Ireland Cross - Country titles, Gaelic Football Championships and produced an All Ireland Handball Champion.
My predecessors, the Christian Brothers, are responsible for creating these traditions and the very special distinctive ethos of the school. As someone who has had the privilege of working on the staff since 1977, I intend to maintain and develop the Christian Brothers identity.
Yours sincerely,
Kevin Gough
