Have you ever wondered why St Aidan’s CBS in Dublin is so special? It’s a school that’s steeped in history dating back to 1964. It was a time of great change in Ireland and the school was part of a new wave of modern education. St Aidan’s CBS opened its doors in just two classrooms of Larkhill Boys National School. Father Brady, the parish priest of Whitehall, had invited the Christian Brothers to set up the school. The school’s first principal was Brother Paul Hayes. A few years later, in 1968, the first phase of the new school building was completed. Brother Paul Hayes was instrumental in shaping St Aidan’s ethos of academic excellence and promoting social inclusion. Interestingly, there’s a little known fact about St Aidan’s. It was built on the grounds of the old Albert College. Albert College was an agricultural model school that became part of the Agriculture Faculty of University College, Dublin. It was here that Professor Paul Murphy made a groundbreaking discovery in the early 20th century. He cracked the code behind the Phytophthera infestans fungus, the culprit behind the devastating potato blight that caused the Irish famine. Today, St Aidan’s CBS stands as a testament to the legacy of education in Ireland—a place where tradition and innovation come together to nurture bright young minds. It’s a place brimming with life, where students take on academic challenges and learn valuable life skills. St Aidan’s CBS, a school with a rich history, but with eyes firmly set on the future.
