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 Batmen, Barbies and Dublin Buses, corpse brides, crazy clowns, pirates and princesses and ‘new pupils’, terrifying trees and scary skeletons, what a brilliant bunch you were this year! If scaring is caring, we’re an immensely fortunate school! Our thanks to you and all super scholars for a truly great Spookathon! Click on the link to see all the action from our 2015 Spookathon!!

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!!!

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 a super dance, to the simply superb singing and dancing of our Senior Infants, who all sported the coolest Christmas jumpers! This was followed by another perfect performance by the amazing actors in our First Class and Second Class treated us all to a wonderful play ‘Big Bad Ben of Bethlehem’. Third Class appeared in their fantastic play ‘Superheroes of Christmas’ and Fifth Class wowed everyone with a brilliantly modern and funny play ‘#Nativity’. Sixth concluded the class performances with  a dazzling dance before we listened to a wonderful choral performance from our singing scholars in our Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth classes. Our newly formed ‘Pupils and Parents’ choir also made their début performance, brave and brilliant are the only words!. It was a great morning and our sincere thanks to all our parents and guardians who offered their support and encouragement on the day! Click on the link to see all the action!

‘Proclamation Day’ will take place on Tuesday, 15th March, and will see schools and classes throughout the country unveil their own ‘Proclamation’ for a new generation while also remembering the 1916 Proclamation. We are very excited about the day, and have been working hard to put together a memorable programme of events. Here we are in rehearsal, practising ‘Down by the Sally Gardens’. It is simply beautiful and will only be better on the day!

‘Proclamation Day’ rehearsals!

Bhí Seachtain na Gaeilge againn i Scoil Naomh Chaoimhín. Bhí orainn go leor imeachtaí. Bhí comórtas ealaíne againn, bhí feis ceoil agus ceolchoirm leis an córscoil againn, bhí lá glas againn agus bhí tráth na gceist againn. Bhí sé spraoi iontach. We also enjoyed a wonderful ‘Proclamation Day’ on Tuesday, there was  music, poetry, proclamations, a wonderful speech and of course the raising of the national flag. It was a great week, and an especially great day. Click on the link to see some of the action!!

Rehearsals for our Proclamation Day

Each year in St. Kevin’s I am amazed by the incredible science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) work undertaken by both our terrific teachers and super scholars. This year, as part of our evaluation, we promised to raise the profile of science in the school and see if our superb scholars could shine brightly as super scientists too! We are glad to say, that through a whole school collaboration, we seem to have managed our task, and the last few months has seen dancing raisins, rubber rockets, voluble volcanoes, crazy chromatography, mad materials, mad maths trails, pretty cool air pressure ploys, brilliant bridge design, lovely lava lamps, de’light’ful lighthouses and extraordinary eggs to mention but a few things. It has been brilliant, and my thanks to every class, who have been class in every way!! Check out all the action by clicking on the link!

‘Scientastic Super Scholars’!

All at St. Kevin’s offer their congratulation to the pupils of our Sixth Class who received the Sacrament of Confirmation last week. It was a fantastic day, from a wonderful ceremony to the wonderful weather. We would like to thank the families of our pupils who received the Sacrament of Confirmation for their wonderful support too. And of course, compliments to all our scholars in the ‘Super Sixth’ for the ‘style on show’, probably the most stylish Sixth Class in the country!!

Junior Achievement helps to create a culture of enterprise within the education system. It also helps young people prepare for the world of work, giving them skills in communications and presentations, and we were delighted that Alan, from Baxter Healthcare, could join our Sixth Class again this year. Alan has been a superb mentor to all our Sixth Class pupils, leading a programme that is brilliant. Thank you again Alan!

Our biggest congratulations to our superb and scintillating scholars in Sixth Class, who graduated today. We are so proud of this bunch who are genial, gracious, good-hearted, generous, great, gentle and truly gifted! Our congratulations to you all guys. We will miss you but remember, with clear eyes and a full heart, you can’t lose!
