Our school crest is based on the C.B.S. logo with a
"Seahorse" on the top, to show the link with the town of Tramore.The seahorse is
used to commemorate a famous shipwreck which occurred in Tramore Bay. You can read about
it on our main school site. Our school is an unusual shape.It is a nine sided figure
called a nonagon (we think). It is built at the top end of the town and there is a
great view of Tramore Bay from most of the classrooms.

each class and one Remedial teacher. There are 161 boys in this school this year .There
