Colaiste Ghobnatan is an Irish-medium school in the civil parish of Ballyvourney in County Cork, Ireland. As of 2015, there were approximately 200 students enrolled in the school.[2] Located in the Muskerry Gaeltacht, Irish is spoken throughout the school. Originally opened in 1950 as a school for boys, within 30 years, it was also accepting girls from the area.
The school, originally known as Gairmscoil Ghobnatan opened in 1950.[3] The nearby Colaiste Íosagán closed in 1989, and the two schools (Gairmscoil Ghobnatan and Coláiste Iosagáin) combined to form Coláiste Ghobnatan.[3] The school building was extended in the late 1980s and further rooms were added in 1996.[3]
