We marked Maths Week in school with many events and activities which got the children thinking about how we use maths in many ways. We played dice and card games in the library & went to the hall in class groups for our annual maths quiz. There were also car park and classroom trails and challenges, not to forget Maths Week TV! The teachers and children alike enjoyed taking the maths out of the textbook and in to the world around them. Huge thank you to Ms. O’Sullivan for organising all of this week’s events.

Over the last few weeks, 3rd and 4th class pupils took part in the Martin Boland writing competition. Lots of time and effort went into writing stories based on this year’s theme of ‘adventure’. Today, all pupils were given a prize in the form of a medal while the winners from each class and the overall winners were awarded trophies. Huge thank you to Martin & Elizabeth Boland for sponsoring the event in memory of their son, Martin.

During the week beginning Monday, 31st March, pupils from 3rd to 6th class at St Kilian’s took to the stage to perform in our school musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

After months of preparation and rehearsals, guided by Mr. Dignam, Ms. O’Sullivan, Ms. Duggan, and Niamh, the children delivered a spectacular three-night performance with the support of a live band.

Their energy, talent, and enthusiasm lit up the stage, and we couldn’t be prouder of every single one of them.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped bring the show to life and supported the production in so many ways.

Take a look below to see some of the children in action!

Over the past few months, our 4th and 5th class students have been working hard to prepare for the National Children’s Choir. With the support and guidance of Mr. Dignam, Ms. O’Brien and Ms. O’Sullivan, they learned 15 songs in various languages in preparation for this special event.

On Wednesday, March 26th, they had the wonderful opportunity to perform at the National Basketball Arena in Tallaght, singing alongside other schools and accompanied by a live orchestra.

A big thank you to Mr. Dignam, Ms. O’Brien and Ms. O’Sullivan for all their time and effort in helping the children get ready for this unforgettable experience.

The children did an incredible job, and you can enjoy listening to some of the songs they performed below!

Song 1: Can You Hear Me?

Song 2: Kusimama

As part of Literacy Week (24th–28th February 2025), screenwriter Peter Salisbury visited our sixth classes through the Writers in Schools scheme. During the workshop, students explored storytelling and created their own film script scenes.

We are delighted to announce that our Book Fair was our most successful yet, raising over €2,300 in free books for our school. We extend our sincere gratitude to all who attended and supported this event, your generosity and enthusiasm are greatly appreciated and will have a lasting impact on our school community.

In our Reading Partners sessions, sixth-class students paired with fourth class, and fifth-class students with third, to share and enjoy their favorite books.

Finally, as part of our Poet-Tree competition, students showcased their creativity by writing short poems on leaves, based on the theme of nature. Congratulations to our winners, pictured below!

A massive congratulations to our boys GAA football team who were crowned champions in Croke Park on Tuesday the 22nd of October. The boys had to fight for the win as they faced an incredibly talented group of boys from Gaelscoil Shliabh Rua.

The boys showed grit and determination and played together as a team to get over the line and take the trophy ( Corn Seatrún Céitinn) home. Well done everyone, a day we will never forget.
