It is a Christian Brothers' Secondary school with 400 pupils, no longer all boys, ranging in age from 12 to 18 years. There are 43 teachers covering a wide range of courses at second-level. It is managed by a Board of Management, which has representatives of the trustees, parents and teachers. The school has recently undergone a major rebuilding program. A new assembly hall, restaurant and entrance hall have been built.
Covered walkways connect the different buildings on the campus.
At present we are looking forward to the replacement of the old windows with new double glazed units. These will help to lower the heating costs and to keep out the ever increasing traffic noise. Copy right O'Connell School. No material from these pages should be reproduced without permission.
