Шаблон:Lang (Edmund Rice College) was a Christian Brothers secondary school for boys located in Callan, County Kilkenny, in Ireland.
The college was built in the hometown of Edmund Ignatius Rice, the founder of the Irish Christian Brothers, the Presentation Brothers and the Edmund Rice Family.
The motto of the school appears on the school coat of arms, incorporating the Latin Шаблон:Lang (To Do and To Teach). Also, just below on a scroll, appears the motto of the Christian Brothers, Шаблон:Lang (Nothing Is Impossible).
The Community of the Christian Brothers was established in Callan on 12 September 1868, however, the present school was not founded until 115 years later, in 1983.
In September 2022, Coláiste Éamann Rís and St Brigid’s College amalgamated to become Coláiste Abhainn Rí, a co-educational Catholic secondary school.[1]
Edmund Rice Schools Trust
Coláiste Éamann Rís in partnership with the ERST is the trust body that owns the former Christian Brother Schools in the Republic of Ireland.
Academics
The school's rural status lead to enrolment at the horticultural and agricultural college, Kildalton College (Piltown).
During the school year, the school also offered a supervised study programme. Students had access to internet and office studies on computers in the school library.
Curricular studies
Boys at Coláiste Éamann Rís sat the Junior Certificate syllabus for their first three years at the school, and the Leaving Certificate syllabus for their final two. In between the first three years and the final two there was an optional extra, Transition Year, affording students the opportunity to study subjects and topics not present on the immediate exam syllabi - self-defence and cookery, for example.
Subjects studied included a number of options in both the Junior Certificate and Leaving Certificate cycles.Шаблон:Fact

Co-curricular studies
The college's many co-curricular facilities included the school's sports clubs, Debating Club and music classes, and the school has a long tradition of competing in school quizzes and various enterprise competitions across Ireland.
Transition Year Programme
The Transition Year Programme is a voluntary outlet for students attending the college. During this school period, students studied self-defense, took individual cooking lessons, played a rugby league, took a work experience placement and engaged in various other activities. Students were recommended to partake in the Gaisce - The President's Award programme. Boys represented the college in a local 'Build A Bank' competition, partook in a Peer education programme and joined a motor safety course. Often, the transition year group traveled abroad. At the end of the year, selected students were given awards for their Transition Year performances, including a Student of the Year award, Endeavour award, Maturity award and individual activity awards such as Cookery and Rugby.
