Rockwell College
Welcome to Rockwell College, where we offer residential accommodation for boys and girls on a 7-day and 5-day basis. Up to 130 boys and girls reside on separate wings in Shanahan Hall.
Pupils from all corners of Ireland and from around the world choose Rockwell College for their second-level education. Our pupils come from U.K, France, Germany, Spain, Russia, U.S.A, Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Dubai. This diversity of cultures creates a unique environment for all pupils attending the College and is part of the College ethos of inclusivity.
As a boarder in Rockwell College, you will experience a well-structured environment that promotes academic and social development in the Spiritan tradition.
Our boarding facilities are spacious and modern, providing a comfortable and high-quality living space. Facilities are upgraded annually. We hope boarders will feel that Shanahan Hall is their home while they are with us.
Boarders will develop their independence and their sense of responsibility within the care and protection of the College staff.
I look forward to welcoming you here.

This dynamic group comprises representatives from each year, convening monthly alongside the Residence Manager. Chosen by fellow boarders at the beginning of the year, council members maintain ongoing dialogues to collect suggestions and concerns, subsequently addressed during council meetings.
The Boarders Council serves as a platform for boarders to engage with staff and voice their ideas. We deeply appreciate the contributions of every boarder in shaping our daily operations, and the Council guarantees that their viewpoints remain integral and respected.
