Welcome to the Blackwater Community School Website
Blackwater Community School, Lismore is a state of the
art educational establishment that boasts a modern
school building on a greenfield site. The school is an
amalgamation of 3 Catholic Voluntary Schools with a
Mercy, Presentation and CBS traditions. Since opening in
September 2003, we have been very much conscious of
being innovators and not so much imitators. This is
reflected in our recent addition to our school which
include a new pitch with an elaborate drainage system, a
massive Olympic standard sports hall, a gymnasium, a
floodlit astroturf pitch, a Fergus Costello designed
Meditation room, a new library and an excellent canteen
facility. Our investment in 3 IT rooms, 30 interactive whiteboards and
video conferencing capabilities has made BCS the first school in Ireland
to be so technologically advanced.
This attention to innovation
and enterprise is something we try to instil in our students. We
are the first school in the region to include a swipe card
attendance option, a sophisticated lotto style form of continuous
assessment, individual attention to student mentoring and
a positive behaviour system that reinforces positive action
creating a harmonious and cooperative atmosphere within
our school. [read more...]
B.C.S. has a current enrollment of 688 students with 350
boys and 338 girls.
