St. Kevin's National School

Just a short note to welcome you to our class page! We are looking forward to another very successful year, a year of the very best teaching and learning, where each pupil will dare to know, and dare to know more! We would also like to welcome the newest scholars of St. Kevin’s, from our new Junior Infants (some are even so famous they made the paper!) to our new additions in our other classes, you are all very welcome!! We have created a short video to introduce you to the newest scholars of St. Kevin’s and of course we have included our present scholars, who are typically super, scintillating, sincere, smart, sophisticated, stylish and sweet. See if you can spot us! You may well recognise a few familiar faces and funny poses but we hope you enjoy it. We look forward to our new arrivals and new infants becoming the next legacy of legendary St. Kevin’s stars! Just click on the link below to see everyone!!

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. It gets better with each year and 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 Avengers, Batmen and Barbies, Draculas, corpse brides, clowns, pirates, princesses and ‘new pupils’ 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!

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 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 baked 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!!!

Last Friday, the Student Council of St. Kevin’s organised a ‘Crazy Hat or Hair Day’, and what a wonderful day it was! We witnessed the most brilliant barnets, magnificent manes, dazzling do’s, and terrific tresses. There were also wonderful wigs and tremendous toupees! Well done to all, it was a really great day and raised some fantastic funds for the Student Council to purchase some playground equipment! Don’t forget to click on the link to see some super snaps of the fuzz, frizz and fun!

We were delighted to return to school on Monday but our typically crazily creative pupils managed to glean some artistic merit from the remains of the ‘Beast from the East’!! A smaller snowman than their creations last week but a super sculpture all the same! Look out for these amazing artists in the National Gallery one day soon!!

Bhí Seachtain na Gaeilge againn i Scoil Naomh Chaoimhín. Bhí orainn go leor imeachtaí. Bhí feis ceoil agus ceolchoirm leis an córscoil againn, bhí lá glas againn agus bhí tráth na gceist againn. Bhí sé spraoi iontach. Bhí againn paráid iontach fresin – it really was something special. It was a great week, and an especially great day on Thursday when we enjoyed our parade and concert – despite the best efforts of the weather. Our thanks to all our parents, grandparents and guardians who supported our parade and concert too – thank you!! Click on the link to see some of the action!

Seachtain na Gaeilge 2018!

Each year in St. Kevin’s, we are 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 continue to raise the profile of science in the school and see if our superb scholars could continue to 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 this academic year has seen dancing raisins, rubber rockets, cool circuits, voluble volcanoes, dazzling dentistry, mad maths trails, brilliant bridge design, lovely lava lamps, super slimy slime, puzzling plastic (made from milk!!!) a few dodgy eggs and a few incredible visitors – not least Turtle and Deirdre who has us digging, planting and breeding all types of bio-diversity and those who visited our science exhibition in Cabinteely Community School. We have also visited Sea Life and Bull Island. 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!
