MSC is an amalgamation of the Brigidine Secondary School, Mountrath with the Patrician Brothers, Ballyfin and St Aengus Vocational School were handed over to the first Principal Mr Martin Gleeson on the 18th August 2009 for its opening on the 25th August 2009.
Since we opened in 2009 we have continuously improved our provisions of education and facilities for our students. Plans currently under development:
- All weather AstroTurf pith
- Hurling walls
- Walking tracks
- IT facilities – availability of four portable trolleys of Chromebooks
We are committed to creating a caring environment, to fostering respect for self, for other and our community. We aim to help each member of our school community to develop fully, to celebrate our student’s achievements and to provide students with the skills that they need to meet life’s challenges with confidence and belief through empowerment and personal responsibility.
Our school crest is a core part of our identity and brings the traditions of these three educational establishments together. The Patrician Cross, the Cross of Cross of St Brigid and the manuscript of St Aengus all from three parts of the crest with the leaf of the Birch tree in the centre.
The Birch tree represents the area where the school now resides. The Birch tree is an ancient symbol of new beginnings, regeneration, hope dawns and the promise of what is to come. The tree carries ancient wisdom and yet appears forever young. The area ‘Dysartbeig’ means desert of the Birch.
