Bailieborough Community School
Bailieborough Community School, alternatively spelled as Bailieboro, and commonly referred to as BCS, is a community school located in the town of Bailieborough, County Cavan, Ireland. The school was an amalgamation of two previous schools in the town; Bailieborough Vocation School, colloquially called The Tech; and Lourdesville Secondary School, colloquially referred to as 'The Convent'. The school was built on the site of the existing Lourdesville School, and was opened on the 8 November 1982 by the then Minister for Posts and Telegraphs, John Wilson.
The school has 36 teaching classrooms, a physical education gym, a gaelic football pitch and two car parks.[citation needed] As of 2019, there were over 630 students enrolled in BCS.
Bailieborough Community School offers the Leaving Cert Vocational Programme (LCVP) in the school to all fifth years who achieve certain qualifications. These qualifications are based on the electives that the student chooses for their Leaving Certificate, along with the three core subjects - Irish, English and Mathematics.
The Transition Year (TY) program is a year of school between third year (end of Junior Cycle) and fifth year (beginning of Leaving Cert) which allows for students to engage in more extra-curricular activities such as BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition and Young Social Innovators. The program usually takes in 40-50 students on a yearly basis.
The most prominent sport that the school takes part in is Gaelic football, with other sports including rugby, basketball, handball, badminton, camogie and cross country running.[citation needed] Physical education is under the stewardship of Johnny Brady, former Cavan footballer who was on the 1997 Ulster Senior Football Championship Final winning team; Damian McIntyre is another member of the teaching staff who plays Gaelic football with Shercock GFC.[citation needed]
The school's senior Gaelic football team reached the final of Group D in the 2019-2020 championship. They were defeated by Ballybay Community College.[citation needed]
The school has hosted several musicals, including Anne of Green Gables, My Fair Lady and Annie Get Your Gun.[citation needed]
The school is located on a site between Chapel Road and the Virginia Road of the town. The school is home to a standard Gaelic games pitch and a large sports hall. The school physically consists of two buildings: the main building, which contains the five "areas", and the E-area building. Each of these areas cater for a year in the school, providing access to lockers.[citation needed]
