Setting

Dungarvan CBS lies on the idyllic Atlantic coast of the south of Ireland. Dungarvan is the administrative centre of County Waterford. It is a thriving industrial centre. The town's Irish name means "Garbhan's fort". Saint Garbhan founded a church here in the seventh century. The town lies on the N25 road (European route E30), which connects Cork, Waterford and Rosslare Europort. The expansion of the school has coincided with the growth of the town.

Principal's Message

I as Principal would like to welcome you to the Dungarvan CBS Website. As you browse it you will get an insight into what our school aims to achieve. I would like to thank Mr John Barry for his work in preparing and setting up this Website and to the members of Staff who contributed articles and photographs found on this Website. We are an all boys secondary school situated in the town of Dungarvan Co Waterford. We cater for boys from both the town of Dungarvan and the vast hinterland that stretches from Co Cork to the west and Co Tipperary to the north. In fact we are the only all boys secondary school in West Waterford. As a Christian Brother’s school we follow the ethos of Edmund Rice which promotes full personal and social development in a caring Christian community. We encourage and foster excellence in all aspects of school life. The school prides itself in a high standard of education as can be seen by our successes at examinations, on the sports field, in debating, quizzes and all school activities. To this end we are fortunate in having a committed and caring staff who generously give of their time in the education of our students inside and outside the classroom. Their dedication is what makes Dungarvan CBS the successful school that it is. I hope you will enjoy browsing here whether you are a prospective parent looking for a school for your son, a past pupil looking up your Alma Mater or a friend of the school looking for news, you are most welcome.

Ann Prendergast (Principal).
