Dear Parents/Guardians

Welcome back to school. I hope you have all had a well earned rest and I wish everyone a happy New Year.

We have lots of exciting things happening this term. Including first time swimming for some of our younger classes and a return of the hot tub use (once the weather allows). Our student council continues to meet weekly and have some great ideas that we are looking forward to hearing about.

In February, Sean Oakes, our long time Board of Management Chair retires. We have been very lucky to have Sean involved with St. Killian’s for the past 15 years. We wish him the very best in all his plans and we will miss him very much.

The yard and outside areas have been updated and all the children love the new obstacle course and field activities, in particular the mud-kitchen and large muddy puddle beside it. The outdoor classroom has also proved very popular and the hot-tub is used every day by many children in the school.

School assemblies on a Friday are a very special time to celebrate pupil achievement and the good things that happen during the week. This is a lovely time to join together and share our ideas and experiences. We have welcomed several guests to our assemblies and they too have enjoyed the magic of St Killian's.

The children have travelled far and wide, to Cork, to Fitzgerald Park, to the Marina Market and more locally to the cafe, swimming pool and library. We look forward to getting our new school bus on the road as then who knows where we could end up??

Classroom displays are vibrant and welcoming and show the deep learning the children accomplish in our school. All children have beautiful artwork displayed around the building.
