Dublin Schools

Thanks for that John
I've emailed John Grenham. (Last resort)
You wouldn't think it would be so hard just to get a bit of history on these schools...I've either had no replies to all the emails I've sent or "sorry can't help"

I realise that this is an old thread but as it's called Dublin Schools I'm adding the History of Wesley College which was opened as The Wesleyan Connexional School at St. Stephen's Green on the morning of Wednesday 1st October 1845. I've also posted Education in Ireland - Link on the Irish Resources board.

This isn't the school you require Sylvia although it's a well know Dublin school ... Belvedere College SJ was founded in 1832 and the Past Pupils Union was founded in 1902. I'm not certain how many schools have a Museum but The Belvedere Museum was opened in May 2002 by John Bowman, to commemorate the centenary of The Belvedere Union (the past pupils' union).

In 1918 past pupils of Belvedere College founded the Belvedere Newsboys Club to address the issue of poverty among newspaper sellers in the city of Dublin. www.irlfunds.org/your_money_at_work/projects_belvedere.html

Oh my goodness...does this sound all to familiar from our journeys into family history!!!! Good for Belvedere, doing something positive!!!

Children in households where parents are unemployed, ill, disabled or where there are 3 or more children are particularly at risk of poverty. In addition, children in lone-parent households are at a very high risk of experiencing poverty.

• Children whose parents never went to secondary school are 23 times more likely to be living in poverty compared to children whose parents had a third level qualification.

• 15% of young people leave school without a Leaving Certificate and 3% with no qualification at all.

• 48,000 families are currently on the waiting list for social housing. Damp, overcrowded, poor quality housing affects children's health and well being.*

The Mount Temple School, Malahide Road, Clontarf was established in 1972 following the amalgamation of Mountjoy School (a protestant boarding school located on Malahide Road, also in Clontarf at Mount Temple School's current location), Hibernian Marine School (a charity school founded in 1766, originally to provide for the orphans and children of seamen) and Bertrand and Rutland School (this was located in Eccles Street in the north-side of Dublin).

There was a Hibernian Soldiers' School in Dublin which was founded in 1769.
