St Francis College Rochestown
St. Francis College Rochestown, sometimes known as Rochestown College or abbreviated as Roco,[3][4] is an all-boys secondary school in Rochestown, Cork, Ireland. The school's foundation dates to 1884 when a friary was formed by the Franciscan Order.[5] HistoryIn the 1870s the Capuchin (Franciscan) order of friars opened a church and monastery on the Rochestown-Monkstown road near Cork city.[6] In the 1880s, a school for novitiates (those seeking to join the order) was opened on the site.[6] While this novitiate school was moved to Kilkenny and elsewhere for some decades, in the 1930s the school returned to the Rochestown friary.[7] In the late 1960s and early 1970s, coinciding with a move to free education in the state, the college expanded into the friary itself, and "dormitories were converted into classrooms".[7] The school continues to operate as a voluntary secondary school under the trusteeship of the Capuchin Franciscan Order.[8] Extra-curricular activitiesSporting and extra-curricular activities in the school include debating, Gaelic football, hurling, soccer, basketball, badminton, debating and chess.[9] Notable graduates
