This is the fourth year for K.P.S. to compete in the Santry School Sports. We had children from third to sixth representing the school in the track and field events. We had two very successful days of competition with a final tally of 12 medals. To all the qualifiers, to all the medal winners and to all 102 pupils who participated at qualifying stage congratulations and well done. Hope you enjoy the photos.

Senior Infants had a fantastic day visiting the Leprechaun Museum. It was a real adventure getting the bus into town. They went through magic tunnels – heard amazing stories about Leprechauns that have been spotted around Ireland and then even got to sneak into a the Giant’s home and sit on his furniture!! Thank you to all the Mums who helped out on the day.
Well folks you may have heard that Jedward came to our school yesterday! The big secret could finally be let out at about 10.30. The famous twins were here to launch a writing initiative which raises money for Barnardos. There was such excitement in the school – the pupils were a credit to the staff and their parents. Their behaviour was exemplary- as for Jedward ……they were not so good! You can catch the clips on the RTE website – and we’ll try and put the video up here as soon as possible.
The much anticipated Whole School Evaluation Report has now been finalised and has been published on the Dept. of Education website. The final report makes for a great read – indeed it is a credit to the dedicated and hardworking staff. It is great to see our school’s strengths being recognised and praised. It’s a pity the Dept won’t use the word excellent in their school evaluations – it seems the best you can get is a very good. At least we got a whole load of those!!
