'''Newpark Comprehensive School''' ({{Langx|ga|Scoil Chuimsitheach na Páirce Nua}}) is a ], ], ] ] ] in ], ], Ireland. It was established in 1972.
Newpark was established in 1972 primarily to provide free post-primary, co-education for the ] community of South County Dublin. The primary objective to provide places for members of that community persists, though while recognizing the Church of Ireland background and ethos, and acknowledging ] as Patron of the school, Newpark also embraces a policy of openness and affirmation of different traditions and cultures. As a ], Newpark welcomes boys and girls of all religious, social or ethnic backgrounds. The need for an appropriate gender balance in order to fulfil the purpose of a ] school is recognized. Newpark describes itself as celebrating the diversity in academic, creative and practical intelligence in its students. Over the years, Newpark has gained the status as one of the most successful comprehensive schools in Europe.


==School== == History ==
] ]
Newpark has a Christian tradition, reflecting its origins within the Protestant tradition, and is under the patronage of the ]. The school was established in 1972, when the Department of Education purchased Avoca & Kingstown School, an amalgamation of two small private schools. Avoca School in Blackrock was founded in 1892 by A.A. MacDonagh M.A. (1869-1934) who served for a long time as its headmaster, and Kingstown Grammar School in 1894 by Matthew Edward Devlin (whose son Rev. John Edward Devlin took over as Kingstown's headmaster in 1932).
The Newpark campus covers 100,543m² (25 acres). The school is centred in a purpose-built block, which was opened in 1974, but also uses two large houses, "Melfield" and "Belfort" (Affectionately referred to as the Red-Brick by students), a purpose-built extension to Belfort (The D/F Building), a gate lodge and other ancillary rooms.


The two founding schools catered primarily for Protestant children in the Blackrock/Dún Laoghaire area, but the schools also welcomed pupils from other religious faiths, and from none. In 1968 the original schools amalgamated as Avoca & Kingstown School at Newtownpark Avenue. Four years later it became Newpark, one of the four Comprehensive Schools established by the Government to:
===School facilities===
*make free second-level education accessible to the Protestant community within an appropriate ethos.
*provide educational and recreational facilities for the local community.
*act as centres for educational innovation.


Newpark has a specific obligation to the Protestant community of south Dublin/north Wicklow, and this is reflected in its special recognition of the National Schools under Protestant management in the catchment area and by the priority given to those enrolling from the Protestant community. Newpark also considers itself a pluralist community; it embraces inclusion in terms of social, cultural, religious and ethnic diversity.<ref>http://newparkschool.ie/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Admissions-Policy-revised-April-2010.pdf{{Dead link|date=May 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

===Hockey=== == Facilities ==
]
In the past Newpark enjoyed a reputation as a great hockey school, in connection with ], being the winner of several national and international titles. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, hockey at Newpark went into decline in the late 1990s and the current status is far from that of the glory days. Gladly, after the opening of ]'s new state of the art, water based hockey pitch on the Newpark campus in 2005, hockey in the school has undergone a revival. In 2008 the Newpark Senior Boys won the Leinster (B) League. In 2009 the hockey at the school cotinues to grow.This is evident from the u13 boys who won the league,beating St. Killians in the final 10-0, cotinuing the revival. In 2010, the 1st year (u13) girls won the A league beating St. Andrews 1-0 in the final. The same team (now minor/2nd years) won it again in 2011 beating Mt Anville 2-1 in the final. This is the most promising bunch of players the school has seen in many years and this bodes well for the future.

Newpark Comprehensive School (Irish: Scoil Chuimsitheach na Páirce Nua) is a mixed, Church of Ireland, state comprehensive secondary school in Blackrock, County Dublin, Ireland. It was established in 1972.

History

Lunchtime in Newpark in 2006, in front of the former main block (now demolished).

Newpark has a Christian tradition, reflecting its origins within the Protestant tradition, and is under the patronage of the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Dublin. The school was established in 1972, when the Department of Education purchased Avoca & Kingstown School, an amalgamation of two small private schools. Avoca School in Blackrock was founded in 1892 by A.A. MacDonagh M.A. (1869-1934) who served for a long time as its headmaster, and Kingstown Grammar School in 1894 by Matthew Edward Devlin (whose son Rev. John Edward Devlin took over as Kingstown's headmaster in 1932).

The two founding schools catered primarily for Protestant children in the Blackrock/Dún Laoghaire area, but the schools also welcomed pupils from other religious faiths, and from none. In 1968 the original schools amalgamated as Avoca & Kingstown School at Newtownpark Avenue. Four years later it became Newpark, one of the four Comprehensive Schools established by the Government to:

  • make free second-level education accessible to the Protestant community within an appropriate ethos.
  • provide educational and recreational facilities for the local community.
  • act as centres for educational innovation.

Newpark has a specific obligation to the Protestant community of south Dublin/north Wicklow, and this is reflected in its special recognition of the National Schools under Protestant management in the catchment area and by the priority given to those enrolling from the Protestant community. Newpark also considers itself a pluralist community; it embraces inclusion in terms of social, cultural, religious and ethnic diversity.

Sports

The school offers a range of sports including field hockey, rugby and basketball. Its rugby senior team has held the McMullen Cup since 2007. Avoca Hockey Club is based on the campus.The students also have access to Newpark Sports Centre which has a sports hall and a swimming pool.

Campus

The Newpark campus covers 100,543m² (25 acres). The school was centred on a purpose-built prefab-style block, opened in 1974, but also used two large houses, "Melfield" and "Belfort" (Referred to as the Red-Brick by students), a purpose-built extension to Belfort (The D/F Building), a gate lodge and other ancillary rooms. . In 2015 a new school building was opened to students and many of the ancillary rooms were demolished leaving only Belfort and Melfield standing from the original plan.

Facilities

Newpark Academy of Music

Founded in 1978 to provide much needed music school facilities in south Dublin, Newpark Academy of Music, formerly Newpark Music Centre, now caters for over 1000 students and is one of the largest public music schools in Dublin.

The staff is drawn from the greatest performers and teachers from Ireland and abroad, ensuring that students are kept up to date with the latest musical techniques, concepts and trends.
