Our school girls team had a very successful outing last week. They beat four schools and progressed to the semi final, losing out to Colmcilles SNS, Knocklyon. Great performances were on show from all on our team and we have a very bright future ahead with our three 4th class pupils. Thanks to Mr Davern for leading the team.
On Sunday our Junior and Senior teams took part in the Dublin finals of the Credit Union Quiz. Both teams represented their school really well and the Junior team placed first, making it the first time that a team from St. Kilian’s S.N.S. or from Kilnamanagh Credit Union has ever qualified for the All-Ireland finals. Congratulations to both teams and a massive thank you to Mr. Dignam for preparing and leading the school quiz teams.
