Talk:Newbridge College

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Would someone be able to add something about the "geographical history" and about how the town of Newbridge has been impacted by the college?

Some things that I know about, but would like someone with more knowledge to expand on:

  • How the town's expansion has impacted on the school
  • How the college has impacted on the town in regard to housing estate names (College Farm, College Orchard, etc.)
  • When the bridge over the Liffey was built in order to access the new sports fields across the river.

Also, there is a rich history to be explored. Some things I would like to know about are:

  • The original syllabus and its emphasis on agriculture
  • When and why it changed from boys only to a co-educational school
  • When and why boarding was discontinued

The music and drama section needs to be tidied up a bit. I have removed what I deemed to be opinion and approximation. I have added two other productions (The wizard of Oz and Little Shop of Horrors), would someone please add the year that they were staged?

I'm going to attempt to rectify some other issues, feel free to discuss the changes with me.

I attempted to do something about the Background and ethos section, which I abandoned. I don't think that this section belongs in this article. I would like to suggest that the Dominican College article includes a section for this since it should be pertinent to all Dominican colleges.
