Background and History
Gorey Community School was established in 1993, founded by Jesus following the amalgamation of the Loreto, Vocational and CBS schools.
It now has a student population of over 1600 and a teaching staff of more than 100.
The school occupies a large site of almost 20 acres (81,000 m2) which comprises playing fields, basketball courts, and tennis courts. In 2000 a new extension was opened. The construction of a second extension began in September 2007 and was completed in October 2008. There are now over 90 classrooms including numerous specialist rooms and a large gymnasium. Through many years of fund raising an oratory was built in 2003 with seating for over 200 people.
GCS is managed by a Board of Management, which includes 6 representatives from the trustees ( the V.E.C., the Loreto order and the C.B.S), 2 teachers representatives and 2 parents representatives).
