    Coláiste Bhaile Chláir is an Irish co-educational and multidenominational community college situated in Lakeview, Claregalway, County Galway.[2] It is under the patronage of the Galway and Roscommon Education and Training Board (GRETB).[3]

    It is a Microsoft "showcase school", having been recognised by the company as a "global leader in successful integrations of technology with teaching and learning".[4][5]

    History and development[edit]

    Coláiste Bhaile Chláir was founded on 2 September 2013.[6]

    Alan Mongey is the principal of the school, a former president of the National Association of Principals and Deputy Principals (NAPD).[7][8] Cyril Donnellan, Emma Ryan and Lisa Carty are deputy principals.[9] Donnellan is a former hurler with the Galway senior team.[10]

    Construction work began in early 2016 on a 23-classroom extension to Coláiste Bhaile Chláir.[11] In July 2018, further plans to extend the school and also provide a purpose-built Educate Together national school in the area received the green light from An Bord Pleanála.[12] In late 2018, the €5.4 million extension project to develop a new two storey extension to Coláiste Bhaile Chláir, including a two classroom special needs unit and sports hall, began.[13] It was completed in July 2020.[14]

    Curriculum[edit]

    The school offers both the Junior and Leaving Certificate cycles and a Transition Year cycle. Coláiste Bhaile Chláir offers all the mandatory subjects, along with woodwork, metalwork, home economics, technical graphics, business studies, design & communication, music and modern foreign languages.[15][16][17]

    Coláiste Bhaile Chláir is involved in a variety of sports, including Gaelic football, camogie, hurling, soccer, basketball, badminton and golf.[18]
