The 50th Anniversary Dinner of Coláiste Chríost Rí took place in style at the Rochestown Park Hotel in Cork last Friday night. Over 200 guests attended and old acquaintances were renewed. The occasion also signaled the revival of the CCR past-pupils union.

CCRí Transition Year students organised a soccer marathon last Thursday (January 28th 2010) in support of the Haiti Earthquake Fund. They played football through the night. They have now collected over €7,500!!

Well Done Lads.

We are pleased to announce that all classes will resume on Monday 30th November 2009. Individuals are advised bring their own drinking water.

 Unfortunately, Coláiste Chríost Rí is still without water as a result of the recent flooding of Cork city and will. therefore, remain closed on Friday 27th November, 2009.
Information regarding arrangements for Monday 30th November 2009 will be posted here on Sunday 29th. Parents will also be contacted by text message.

CCR was open today for exam classes only. While the school is without water supply the stored water allowed these classes to proceed but would not have been enough to sustain a full complement of students.
 
Unfortunately, the stored water ran out later today and, consequently, all classes will be cancelled tomorrow (Thursday 26th November).
 
A decision about classes for Friday 27th November will be made tomorrow and parents will receive a text about this. It will also appear on this website News Page.
