Timeless Teachings in a Changing World

We have a warm and welcoming environment in Kilroe, where we focus on the strengths of each of our pupils.

We arrange many tours and outings for our pupils, and we focus on active 'hands on' learning in our school.

 

Student Life

 

 

 

Music

Music is taught and encouraged throughout the school, with an emphasis on song singing and playing the tin whistle. We were delighted to have the Berrill family come and do workshop with our students. We have many talented music students in our school.

Rounders!

Our children recently enjoyed taking part in a Rounders Tournament in Breaffy. It was a fantastic day of sport, teamwork and fun, with everyone showing great enthusiasm, determination and sportsmanship throughout. We are very proud of all the children for representing our school so well and for giving their best effort on the day.

 

Tag Rugby!

We were delighted to welcome a coach from Corrib Rugby Club to our school recently. The children took part in an enjoyable and energetic Tag Rugby training session, where they learned new skills, developed their teamwork and had great fun getting active. A big thank you to our visiting coach for providing such a positive and engaging experience for all involved.

Drama

We promote creativity throughout the school. Every two years we hold a Christmas concert. The children are encourged throughout the year to express themselves creatively by forming their own mini dramas.

The Teacher

Noble the trade of the teacher:

Like a king on the edge of the strand,

Placing the vessels on the waves

And out they sail to the open sea.

 

Lovely the trade of the teacher:

Like a gardener on a July day,

Changing the glory of growth,

From sunshine to harvest.

 

Lonely the trade of the teacher:

Like a mother all alone,

After the departure of her family,

Over the threshold and far away.
