Coláiste Abhainn Rí is a co-educational school under the joint trusteeship of ERST and CEIST. We are located in Callan and open our doors in September 2022.
Congrats to the Junior Hurlers who were victorious in the South Leinster B Final today. We had a great victory over Gorey Community School in a great game with tough conditions. We march on to the Leinster semi final.
Today we said Good Bye to one of our long standing and much loved teachers. Ms. O' Driscoll has been a member of our school community (Coláiste Abhainn Rí and St. Brigid's) for almost 40 years. A teacher of both French and Irish she helped many pupils achieve their full potential
The 1st ever Coláiste Abhainn Rí senior hurling panel pictured below. The lads played so well today in the South Leinster Final but unfortunately they were narrowly beaten, it was just not their day. But we are all so proud of them.
Our TY show is on next Wednesday and Thursday night's. Limited number of tickets are available for each night, they can be purchased from the school office...better get in fast, this is going to be a night to remember

Our U14 football team played against the Presentation Kilkenny today. Our girls played a great match, but were unlucky in the end. Lots of talented up and coming players in this group!
A great start to the season for our U16 and U19 Boys Basketball Teams. Our U16s have won both their games against St. Mary’s CBS and Tyndall College. Our U19s won their first game against St. Mary’s and were barely beaten by Tyndall College. Great work boys 👏

Today we had two more former students speaking about their careers. Lee Doheny who spoke about studying Business in UL and his career as Head of HR Recruitment with Lincoln Recruitment. Aine Butler for speaking with 5th years about studying Ag Science and her role with Teagasc.
Today we held our 1st primary schools blitz, it was lovely to welcoming 177, 5th and 6th class students from six of our feeder schools (Kilvemnon, Windgap, Burnchurch, Callan, Dunnamaggin, Poulacapple and Kilmanagh). Despite the odd shower a great day was had by all.
