Our Philosophy…
One of the key features of King Richard III College is the strong sense of community with a warm family atmosphere. Woven into the fabric of KR3 are the values of compassion and empathy.
Each year, members of our Student Council members organise numerous charity events for the whole school community to participate in such as Halloween Scary Movie Competition, Christmas Fayre, Valentines Flower Sale, and the 15km Sponsored Walk.
Each academic year a charity is chosen as our ‘Focus Charity’. All money raised throughout the year is donated at the end year celebrations. The generosity and commitment within the KR3 community has led to annual donations of more than €14,000. In the academic year 2021-2022, our focus charity is Aldeas Infantiles.

Hallowe’en Fundraising
At Hallowe’en, our school council organises fundraising activities including the bake sale. The 6th Form Common Room is transformed into a haunted house! The Primary School children enjoy their annual parade while the Secondary School students dress up too and spend the afternoon watching each others’ homemade horror movies for the annual scary movie competition in the dining room which is organised by Sr. Meylán.
Sponsored Walk
Every year students from Year 5 to Year 13 take part in our Sponsored Walk from Santa Ponsa beach via a 14km route back to school, accompanied by teachers, parents and dogs! On arrival back at school we enjoy a picnic lunch and activity afternoon organised by our 6th form students.
