Among its notable pupils in the early days were Sir Robert Hart and George Bernard Shaw. In 1879 the College moved to a new site at St Stephen's Green, beside the Methodist Centenary Church. When girls were admitted in 1911 it became one of the few co-educational secondary schools at that time. In 1964 land was acquired at Ludford Park, an attractive 50-acre site at the foot of the Dublin Mountains. The school moved to this site in 1969 and Dundrum Methodist Church was built close by in 1978. The college enjoys a high reputation and with 840 pupils, including about 200 boarders, is one of the largest Protestant secondary schools in the Republic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eFor more info on this still-active school, please see: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.wesleycollege.ie\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eWesley College Dublin - Home\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e1st Edition Author Signed  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eISBN: 9780952631741  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eGC\u0026amp;C Stock # 5236\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gillmore Coins \u0026 Collectibles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48096359973094,"sku":"5236","price":55.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/6212\/8614\/files\/5236_1.jpg?v=1785704951","url":"https:\/\/gillmore.ca\/products\/wesley-college-dublin-1845-1995-an-illustrated-history-by-ernest-armitage-1st-ed-signed","provider":"Gillmore Coins \u0026 Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
