History
The school was established in 1930 by the Dominican Sisters. It was initially established as a Catholic Commercial College for Belfast, alongside a second-level school. In 2006, the management of the school passed from the Dominican Sisters to lay management. The school is now under the Trusteeship of the Cabra Dominican Sisters, with a Board of Governors whose membership also includes parents, a teacher and appointees of the Education Authority.[1]
In 2005 it underwent a major £13.1 million redevelopment.[2]
The school chapel has been listed as a building of special architectural merit.[3]
In 2017, the total student population was just over 1000, a quarter of it the sixth form.[4]
Academics
In 2019 the school was ranked 5th out of 159 secondary schools in Northern Ireland with 91.7% of its A-level students who sat the exams in 2017/18 being awarded three A*-C grades.[5]
In 2018 it was ranked joint ninth in Northern Ireland for its GCSE performance with 99.3% of its entrants receiving five or more GCSEs at grades A* to C, including the core subjects English and Maths.[6]
Facilities
The modernist design of the chapel, which was built in 1964, was influenced by Le Corbusier's chapel at Ronchamp in France.[7]
