Coláiste Éamann Rís

Nihil Alienum (Nothing Is Impossible) Coláiste Éamann Rís (Edmund Rice College) was a Christian Brothers secondary school for boys located in Callan, County Kilkenny, in Ireland.

The Community of the Christian Brothers was established in Callan on 12 September 1868, however, the present school was not founded until 115 years later, in 1983.

[1] Coláiste Éamann Rís in partnership with the ERST is the trust body that owns the former Christian Brother Schools in the Republic of Ireland.

During this school period, students studied self-defense, took individual cooking lessons, played a rugby league, took a work experience placement and engaged in various other activities.

Boys represented the college in a local 'Build A Bank' competition, partook in a Peer education programme and joined a motor safety course.

[citation needed] The college was recognised by Irish international charity, Bóthar, for its annual contribution to the organisation, usually connected with the work committed by students during the Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme, which is a highly emphasised and encouraged outlet in the college.
