St. Kevin's National School

Once again our Spookathon was a ‘spooktacular’ success this year. Our sincere thanks to our parents and guardians, your support this year was absolutely fantastic. We appreciate your support so much. Our thanks too, to our terrifyingly talented teachers, screamingly super special needs assistants and spookastically superb secretary, who all engaged with the Spookathon spirit. And to the awesomely attired scholars of St. Kevin’s, we had Batman and Barbie, pirates and princesses, zombies, pizzas and iphones, what a brilliant bunch you were this year!

The St. Kevin’s Spookathon 2014!!

All at St. Kevin’s would like to congratulate one of our super scholars, who recently travelled to Mayo to participate in the All-Ireland Freestyle Dance Championships. As you can see from the photograph, our super scholar was a success – well done and we are very proud to have such a student in our school. Mr. O’ Leary is hoping our super scholar will teach him some freestyle dance moves but we think it might be too late!!! He certainly won’t be an All-Ireland champion like our superstar in Fourth Class!!

Allow us bow before two awesome artists!! Our biggest congratulations to these two crazily creative chancers (just look at the picture!!) who were recently commended for the pieces of art they entered into the Dun Laoghaire Council ‘Sharing is Caring’ Art Competition. We must note that our artists were chosen from over 2,750 entries so we are particularly proud of their achievement. Well done to two terrifically talent artists. We are looking forward to the next masterpiece!

Huge congratulations to our Fourth Class pupils, pictured, who recently participated in a 5km run from Sallynoggin to Shankhill. What is most impressive is our young runners were not deterred by puddled roads, wet hills, marshy fields and blustery beaches, and they ran in hail and rain, to complete a magnificent challenge. I’m tired just thinking about it! Well done guys, we’re very proud of you!

On Friday, our Parents’ Association hosted their annual cake sale in the Parents’ Room. All our parents and guardians were invited to bring or bake a cake – and we must say a huge and tasty thanks to all our parents and guardians who baked and brought cakes of all types and sizes – we had very cool chocolate cakes, fantastic fairy buns, super Swiss rolls and any number of brilliantly bakes goods and terrifically tasty treats. Our thanks as always for your support on the day. It was a great success and we certainly had a bunch of happy, cake-filled pupils, check out the two happiest men in Fourth Class!!!

Our Cake Sale!!

We have quite a history of terrifically talented artists in our Fourth Class and these two super scholars are the latest addition!! Here they are with a wonderful poster, depicting ‘St. Kevin’s Café’, which plays host to our Breakfast Club, Pizza Parties and other fun and ‘foodtastic’ events. It is a brilliant drawing which will be displayed proudly on the door of the new ‘St. Kevin’s Café’!! Just one problem in our café, our customers never leave a tip!! Well done to our two awesome artists!!

Our Christmas shows took place in the week before our Christmas holidays. It was a great morning, with the talents of each class shining brightly, from our Junior Infants who performed the ‘ABC Nativity’ to the simply superb singing of our Senior Infants, who all sported the coolest Christmas jumpers! The amazing play, ‘Away with the Manager’ was performed by the amazing actors in our First Class and Second Class, along with a wonderful choral performance from our singing scholars in our Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth classes. Our newly formed school choir also made their début performance. It was a great morning and our sincere thanks to all our parents and guardians who offered their support and encouragement on the day!

Our Christmas Shows!

The St. Kevin’s Choir formed recently and in the last week have come together and begun to ‘jam’, working on songs they like, melodies, harmonies and everything in-between! We thought we would give you a sneak preview of our new choir in action. The talent shines brightly already, and the choir sound fantastic – if the guys are this good after one week, we can’t wait to see how good they are at our next assembly. Maybe we should get the autographs now, before we have to pay for the privilege! Click on the links to see the guys in action and if you recognise the tunes as well as our Fourth Class singers!

Seachtain na Gaeilge 2014!!

Our huge congratulations to the soccer superstars of St. Kevin’s, who reached the final of the F.A.I. 5 a-side Tournament in Irishtown this week. Our fantastic footballers produced perfectly on the day, winning the group unbeaten, before advancing to a semi-final that included a last-minute equaliser and victory on penalties! Unfortunately the final didn’t go our way but our team was lead masterfully by El Capitano and The Goal-Machine Gray, who rallied the troops wonderfully and never allowed heads to drop. Well done to each member of our team, Goal-Machine Gray, Panaldinho, Coutinho Connors, Nathan de Neymar Santos, Van Seansie, ‘Zlatan’ Byrne, and in particular to our Fourth Class players, who were absolutely fanatastic, Liam ‘Brady’ Thompson and goalkeeper Donaldo. Legends, one and all.
