The Edmund Rice Schools Trust (ERST) is the trustee of 96 schools, both primary and secondary, in the Republic of Ireland. These 96 schools include schools which were formerly under the trusteeship of the Christian Brothers, schools that have come into our trusteeship and new schools that we have established in recent years. We will be willing to provide patronage of new schools in an area where there is a need for Catholic education in the Edmund Rice tradition.
CBS Thurles is a place of learning where students are prepared for adult life, academically, emotionally, spiritually and culturally. We strive for a safe environment free from bullying. We aim to promote the Christian values inspired by the vision of Blessed Edmund Rice. We seek to create an atmosphere of respect for the needs and talents of all members of our school community, while challenging all to reach their full potential.
