Welcome to Roscommon Community College, a co-educational
secondary school under the governing body of Galway
Roscommon Education and Training Board (GRETB). Roscommon
Community College has grown rapidly over the last few years
and today provides a vibrant and energetic setting for growth
and improvement in Roscommon Town. When your child enters
our school they are taken on a journey of exploration that equips
them with the necessary knowledge and skills to develop selfconfidence,
independent inquiry, respect, positivity and tolerance.
At RCC we want each of our students to feel supported, respected
and valued as an individual within a caring, inclusive and
compassionate school environment. We provide a framework of
education that fosters academic excellence, pastoral care, social
direction and support structures that assist and enhance your
child’s life chances. We work with our students to achieve high
academic grades and guide them throughout their time in our
school so that they make appropriate life choices as they venture
beyond our walls.
Students at RCC can access a vast curriculum from which they can
choose a variety of subjects, both practical and academic, delivered
by a team of professional, dedicated and highly motivated
teachers, and supported by our Special Needs Assistants. The
work we do to enhance our students learning experiences is at the
vanguard of educational practice and yet we never lose focus on
their individual needs. We create a wide spectrum of opportunities
for students and create a platform for them to experience foreign
travel, charity work and competitive sporting and academic
competitions. These opportunities help students achieve a holistic
and fulfilling experience of learning, challenges them to think
independently, work proactively and act responsibly and enables
them to flourish in a range of different environments.
An underpinning principle of RCC is our ethos of working in
partnership with all members of the school community; students,
parents, staff, Board of Management and the local community.
Our active student council and vibrant Parents’ Association are
essential in Roscommon Community College and very much a
part of our inclusive approach towards education.
I hope that as you browse through this prospectus and attend
our Open Day, that you will discover a vibrant school community,
characterised by an atmosphere of warmth and vitality, where our
pupils are active, enthusiastic and happy during their time in RCC.
Míle buíochas as ucht do chuid ama agus táimid ag tnúth go mór
le bualadh libh go luath amach anseo.
Le dea-ghuí.

Why RCC?
Our ethos centres on the student. We
prize each and every child in our care and
acknowledge their individuality, unique
talents and their contribution to our school
community as well as the wider society. We
seek to develop each student’s talents to
their highest potential in an environment
that respects, encourages and confirms
their efforts at achieving personal goals.
RCC is dedicated to the pursuit of excellence
in all aspects of education. We believe
that every student has a tremendous and
unique potential and our aim is to enable
this potential in a structured and focused
way. We will encourage civic responsibility
so that each student can make a positive
contribution to our society and bring their
own distinctiveness to bear.
Respect is a critical factor in RCC’s
environment. Both teachers and students
operate in an atmosphere of mutual
cooperation and collaboration and this is
reflected in the enduring relationships of all
within the school community.
Our results reflect the dedication and hard
work of both students and teachers. Every
year our students apply through the CAO for
third level places and over 90% are offered
their first or second choice.
At RCC we excel as a school community.
We believe that all our students are school
leaders and we place them in the centre of
teaching and learning in the school. We foster
a climate of independent learning and inspire
our young people to achieve. We respect
their views and opinions in an environment
of mutual respect and responsibility.
Our Mission
At RCC we aim to provide a
quality academic, practical,
social and spiritual education
for our students, suited to their
needs and abilities, in a warm,
caring and friendly environment.
We foster mutual respect
between students and staff and
instil in our students a sense of
self-discipline and community.

CURRICULUM
Junior Cycle
RCC takes a broad and holistic view of education. Passionate about lifelong learning, we
believe that success at examination level is crucial to developing the skillset that our students
will need to become independent thinkers and self-disciplined learners. Our students are
encouraged to take higher level in all their chosen subject areas and consistently achieve
high grades across the board.
In first year, our student’s sample and participate in all core, elective and non-exam subjects.
Then in accordance with the Department of Education guidelines on the new Junior Cycle,
each student maintains all the core subjects and selects four of the elective subjects for the
Junior Cycle examination. Together with a number of non-examinable subjects they explore
the curriculum through innovative and progressive classroom pedagogies and connect with
a range of topics that develop them in a holistic and well-structured manner.

Extra Curricular
At RCC we place great value on ensuring that each child in our care becomes a responsible and hard-working adult. We support them
as they become active participants in protecting and supporting their community and environment. Through our extra-curricular
programmes we give our students the opportunity to discover and explore cultures and social issues and develop their knowledge and
communication skills.
School Trips
• RCC offers students a rich and diverse educational experience
through our global school’s programme. This gives students the
opportunity to experience different cultures and values.
• The Modern Foreign Languages Department offers a wide range
of out-of-class language and cultural experiences including
European Day of Languages, International Fashion Show,
MFL cinema trips and plays, Lunchtime Language Meet-Up
(Stammtisch), Student Language Exchange Programmes and
Language College Scholarships. Through the Student Language
Exchange programmes our students are given the opportunity
to establish relationships with other students of similar age and
background through total submersion in French and German.
• Each year students have the option to travel abroad on school
tours. Previous tours have visited London, France, Germany,
Belgium, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands.
• The Career Guidance department travel each year to Ireland’s
universities and third level colleges.
• Other trips and excursions have included visits to theatres,
Ecology and Geography fieldtrips.
Gaeltacht Scholarship
Each year students are afforded an opportunity to apply for a
scholarship to attend one of the island schools in Árann for the
academic year. This year two of our students were awarded this
scholarship from the GRETB to attend Gairmscoil Éinne in Inis Mór
for the 2018/2019 academic year.
Student Awards
RCC takes a broad view of education and each year students are
encouraged to attain their personal best through the awards

Green School
Our school was the first Post-Primary school in the county to
achieve a Green Flag Award. We have successfully retained our
green flag status on the last seven assessment occasions and are
currently preparing for our eight assessment on the theme of
Global Citizenship with an emphasis on the Marine Environment.
WorldWise Global Schools (WWGS)
Our school has been involved in WWGS projects over the last number of years, with the aim of
integrating Global Citizenship Education (GCE) into all aspects of teaching and learning. GCE is
a powerful vehicle through which we can better understand the world we live in and take action
to change it as informed global citizens. At RCC we believe GCE is an exciting and effective way
to equip students with critical thinking skills and instil personal values such as empathy and
solidarity, to help our students contribute to creating a more just and equal world. Each year
our school chooses different themes to focus on for our WWGS project, which link in with the
Sustainable Development Goals. Students engage in class work on these topics as well as other
extra-curricular activities, a sample of which are listed below.
• Trip to Irish Aid Centre for GCE workshop
• Intercultural Breakfast Morning

SPORTS PROGRAMME
Research shows that participation in youth sports helps children improve the physical, social, emotional and academic aspects of their
lives. In addition, the experience of youth sports influences their behaviour as adults, while also helping to promote physical fitness. At
Roscommon Community College we value the role of sport as we endeavour to counter the rising tide of childhood obesity and other health
problems.
Physical Education is offered to students of all ages within Roscommon Community College. We emphasise the importance of sport in
everyday life and students develop the values of teamwork, individual achievement and sportsmanship through taking part in a suite of
extra-curricular sports activities throughout the school year.
Together we aim to develop student ability in a way that enhances competitiveness while encouraging self-discipline and supporting team
skills. Whether your child enjoys team-based sports or is more of an individual, we have the expertise, facilities and the passion to develop
their physical skills and create healthy habits as they move into adulthood.
OUR SPORTING ACTIVITIES INCLUDE:
Volleyball Handball Table Tennis
Gaelic Football Basketball Athletics
Hurling
Rugby
Camogie
Soccer
Our Outdoor Pursuits Programme for Transition Year is an integral part of our extra-curricular activity curriculum and involves camping,
orienteering, mountain climbing, hill walking, cycling, abseiling and a variety of water sports. Coaching courses in GAA, Volleyball and soccer
are also available for those budding managers of the future.

Leaders in Technology
Significant investment and planning has ensured that Roscommon Community College is at the forefront in utilising IT in teaching, learning
and management. Every classroom is equipped with a teaching computer, interactive whiteboards and high-speed broadband to enhance
the visual environment and we have two fully-equipped computer rooms and a bank of student devices for the language department to
address the needs of modern learning.
Each student in Roscommon Community College receives a school email and Microsoft Office 365 account. This allows our students the
use of various Microsoft applications to aid their learning. Students can access OneNote, which allows students to access their class notes
including videos, which are specially designed by teachers, to enhance students learning.
Website
Our website keeps you up-to-date with all of the necessary
information required to monitor and explore your child’s
education. Subject information, school calendars and support
services are some of the items on the website that keep you

Student Services
Evening Study
Evening Study is open to all students and takes place after school
Monday to Friday (nominal fee applies).
Homework Club
Homework Club is run in conjunction with the School Completion
Programme. This service gives students the unique opportunity
to stay back after school and complete their homework in a warm
comfortable bright environment with their peers and a number
of teachers present to help them, if needs be. It provides students
with a structured environment, allowing them to get into the habit
of completing homework and study during a set period of time and
to the highest standards pupils can achieve.
Student Council
The Student Council consists of a representative body elected from
and by the general cohort of students in the school. The Student
Council gives students an opportunity to voice their concerns and
opinions and to play an active role in school events and the life of
the school. A member of staff liaises with the Student Council and
through the Council links are formed between the students and
school management.
Care Meetings
Our school care team meets weekly to discuss the individual needs
and requirements of the students as they arise. The Care team is
made up of the Principal, Deputy Principal, Guidance Counsellor,
HSCL, Learning Support and SCP Co-Ordinator, and Discipline
Co-Ordinator. The idea of a team approach within the school is
intended to bring all the available resources of the school together
to address, in a strategic and co-ordinated manner, the complex
needs of students. Interventions can also involve agencies and
support personnel from outside the school environment.
School Lunch Scheme
The School Lunch Scheme aims to provide free regular, nutritious
food to students. At RCC we realise that proper nutrition can improve
children’s ability to concentrate, improve disruptive behaviour and
encourage children to attend school. Each student receives their
own unique username and password for our school lunch scheme,
which they use to login online to order a personalised lunch. In every
lunch, each sandwich is individually handcrafted and labelled with
the relevant student’s name. All lunches are delivered to school
each morning in a unique temperature controlled boxes boosting
freshness, quality and taste.
Career Guidance and Counselling
Guidance and Counselling is at the heart of our pastoral care in
RCC. The Guidance Counsellor gives care and support to students
learning to cope with the many aspects of growing up and school
life and with their individual personal circumstances. Students in
all years may be seen individually, either at their own request or
that of a parent or teacher. Students are offered the opportunity to
explore/discuss personal issues and are guided and helped through
the decision-making process. The schools holistic approach offers
students access Guidance in the Classroom, around the school and
on a one-to-one basis which encompasses the three separate, but
interlinked, areas of personal and social development, educational
guidance and career guidance.
