St. Colman's College, Claremorris is an all boys Catholic secondary school. It was founded in 1945 by Fr. John A. Colleran at the request of the local community. It is situated in its own grounds a mile from Claremorris.From its foundation, it has grown and developed to fulfill the changing needs and be a school for our time, a school for all our boys and a school for all our community.
St. Colman's is an all-ability school with the vision of giving a life-chance to all our students. Teaching is differentiated to suit students of all ages, abilities and speeds. Our care is on the development of the whole person, spiritually, academically, practically, physically, socially and culturally. To fulfill that aim we provide a wide choice of subjects and encourage everyone to participate in extra curricular activities.
Quality of teaching and learning is emphasised. High standards are expected and achieved. We are conscious that the future belongs to those who prepare for it. We attempt to nurture and develop the vision, the capacities and the enthusiasm of our students to take possession of their future with confidence.
Time in school is not just preparing for life; it is life for five or six years. School time is a time of living and growth. We start with the boy and finish with the young men. A good school should offer opportunities to enjoy life, to work, to play, to pray, to discover our self-worth. A good school should be like a good home, where everyone belongs, everyone is accepted, encouraged, helped and given the chance of success, the space to grow. St. Colman's aims for that.
St. Colman's aim is to value every boy for himself and to help, encourage and challange every boy to realise his self worth, experience success and achieve his full potential.
