Facere et Docere
(To Do and To Teach)
Coláiste Éamann Rís (Edmund Rice College) is a Christian Brothers secondary school for boys located in Callan, County Kilkenny, in the South-East of Ireland.
The college is built in the hometown of Edmund Ignatius Rice, the founder of the Irish Christian Brothers, the Presentation Brothers and the Edmund Rice Family.
The motto of the school appears on the school coat of arms, incorporating the Latin 'Facere Et Docere' (To Do and To Teach). Also, just below on a scroll, appears the motto of the Christian Brothers, 'Nihil Alienum' (Nothing Is Impossible).
The Community of the Christian Brothers was established in Callan on 12 September 1868, however, the present school itself was not founded until one-hundred and fifteen years later, in 1983.
Coláiste Éamann Rís in partnership with the ERST is the Trust body that own the former Christian Brother Schools in the Republic of Ireland.
Many students each year enrol at some of Ireland's top universities, such as Trinity College, University College Dublin, and University College Cork. The school's rural status naturally provokes enrolment to Ireland's largest Horticultural and Agricultural College, Kildalton College (Piltown).
During the school year, the school also offers a supervised study programme. Students have access to internet and office studies on computers in the School Library.
The 2011-2012 school year saw the establishment of the School's Debating Club, with members from first to sixth year (inclusive), run by the Senior Council of Students (mainly Fifth and Sixth years.)
A strong number of students each year are awarded Junior Certificate Business Recognition Awards by the Business Studies Teachers' Association of Ireland in conjunction with Waterford Institute of Technology for the achievement of an 'A' level in Business Studies. In comparison to other larger schools in the Kilkenny district, the number of boys who attain this award is impressive, often with numbers surpassing those of larger schools in the city itself.
