Pictorial history of St. Brendan’s College unveiled
On Wednesday, last week St. Brendan’s College played host to a wonderful occasion when current teacher, Michael Leahy and past teachers, Billy Condon and Denis O’Donoghue presented an archive of visual and written material, photographs, articles and jerseys to Ms. Lorna Larkin, Chairperson of our Board of Management.

Over a ten-year period Mike and Billy gathered, collated and catalogued a photographic collection of school images stretching back to the 19th century.
These images – in their hundreds – are a compendium of life in the College since its foundation.
Denis O’Donoghue began to research the past presidents of the school in the late 1990s.
This initial research led to a detailed document on the social history of the school from the 1850’s through to the 1970s.
They are a rich and valuable storehouse of the school’s traditions and storied past and a treasure throve for the curious past pupil, the historian or indeed our future students and teachers.
The school hopes to place the archive on permanent display in the near future.
