Ski Trip to Austria, 4th - 8th January 2015

Ms. Finnegan, Ms. Brouder and a group of TY and 5th Year students visited Austria for this year's skiing trip. There was a lot of snow this year and a good deal of sunshine, which made for perfect skiing weather. All the practise in Kilternan paid off, as the students really got to grips with skiing. The food and accommodation were terrific, there was lots of laughs and lots of falls. But that is part and parcel of a skiing holiday! Thanks to Ms. Finnegan for organising such a great trip and for all the help from Ms. Brouder. To read more about the Ski trip, go to the Sports blog.

Over 400 people were here to mark the significant occasion of our Diamond Jubilee and the launch of our book '60 Years a Growing'.  Thanks to our past pupils who sang at this so beautifully, our current students who either read extracts from our book or sang in the choir and/or who played solo instruments, to our guest speaker and past parent, Mr John Banville and our students for acting as hosts on the day. To get a further sense of the day go to the Art blog to watch the Diamond Jubilee Student Art Display again and go to the General School News blog to look at the official photographs taken so beautifully by John Ohle. Both videos use recordings of past and current pupils singing at the concert.

TY Trip to Delphi, 1st - 4th September 2014

The TY students went to Delphi during the first week in September where they were able to enjoy it to the utmost because of the beautiful weather. It was only on the last day that the weather turned against them, but that is part of the Delphi experience! The TY students did lots of different activities - including canoeing, surfing and climbing - and according to Ms. Finnegan really pushed themselves to do things they normally wouldn't attempt. Thanks to Ms. Finnegan for organising the trip and to Ms. Cooper for also coming on the trip.
