Background

History

The school was established in 1930 by the Dominican Sisters. It was initially established as a Catholic commercial college for Belfast, alongside a second-level school. In 2006, the management of the school passed from the Dominican Sisters to lay management. The school is now under the trusteeship of the Cabra Dominican Sisters, with a board of governors whose membership also includes parents, a teacher and appointees of the Education Authority. In 2005 it underwent a major £13.1 million redevelopment. The school chapel has been listed as a building of special architectural merit. In 2017, the total student population was just over 1000, a quarter of it the sixth form.
