Waterpark College

VIRTUS SOLA NOBILITAT

A Message from the Principal

I warmly welcome you and your son to a College with a pride in its history and tradition, and a mission and purpose for its future.

Founded as the first classical school in Waterford in 1892, Waterpark works to bring a modern vigour and relevance to the message of Edmund Rice.

Our pledge ensures that your children grow happily in a school that feels right for them, providing an education for the whole person and allowing each student to graduate with well formed minds. A sense of community is nurtured for the benefit of all through the combined work of teachers, students, parents and the Board of Management.

The completion of a €4m extension places Waterpark at the leading edge of the second level education provision in Waterford, combining a tradition of academic excellence in a caring environment.

Our success as educators is determined not only by who our students are, but by the kind of people they become. It is our experience that children educated in a caring environment will be afforded the opportunity to maximise their potential.

On behalf of the teaching staff and the Waterpark Community, we extend every good wish and welcome.

Yours sincerely,

Thomas A. Beecher.
Principal.
