Boherbue Comprehensive School is a secondary school in Boherbue, County Cork, Ireland.

History

[edit]

This school was opened in 1973 as a co-educational, non-selective post-primary school. The term 'comprehensive' was current at that time and the curriculum of the school combined what were formally regarded as the 'secondary' subjects with the 'technical' subjects. This was seen as giving a broad range of subjects under which pupils with very varying degrees of aptitude, ability and skills could prosper.[citation needed]

Sport

[edit]

Gaelic football is the most popular sport within the school and it competes in the All-Ireland Vocational Schools Championship. In 1992 the school were runners-up in the All-Ireland Senior Vocational School Championship and in 1998 it won the All-Ireland Junior Vocational School Championship. In 2001, the school won the All Ireland Ladies Senior Football Vocational Championship. Sports such as basketball and hurling are also played at the school.
