Saint Brendan's College is a Christian Brothers secondary school founded in 1956, and located in Woodbrook, Bray, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County, Ireland.
The grounds are located on the Dublin Road, just north of Bray. Although, officially, it is over the County Dublin border, it usually referred to as being in County Wicklow and part of Bray. The current building was opened on 5 September, 1956, and accommadates approximately 360 students. All bus routes pass through this road in order to get to Dublin, and these include the 45, 45A, 145, 84, 85, 184, and 185.
The school celebrated its fiftieth year in 2006, thus marking its Golden Jubilee. This led to a presidential visit, and the go-ahead for an entirely new school building, due to begin construction in the summer of 2008.
