Congratulations to 5th class pupil Ciarán Murphy who had the honour of leading out the Irish Soccer Team,as a flag bearer, in their qualifying game against Georgia. The match took place in The Aviva Stadium last Thursday night. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity and experience for Ciarán and his family. Ireland won on the night too which was an added bonus!! Check out the pictures of Ciarán below.

Our Green Schools Committee are continuing their great work this year. They recently joined the WEEEPledge schools recycling challenge. We are collecting batteries to make a difference. Its free to recycle and recycling waste batteries helps our environment. Last week we were busy distributing battery recycling boxes to every family in the school. This initiative also raises funds for the LauraLynn Foundation, Ireland’s Children’s Hospice.
So get collecting everybody….every battery counts, every battery makes a difference!!!

Super Troopers
Kiltealy N.S. have commenced Super Troopers, Ireland’s first “health homework” programme.
This programme is fun, free and friendly for all teachers, children and parents to take part in.
The programme focuses on increasing physical activity levels among children, encouraging a healthy lifestyle and improving well-being and food habits at a young age.
Super Troopers is all about ensuring children have as much fun as possible while getting active. Its not about winning or losing, but ensuring that kids take part and try their best.
Each child received their Super Trooper Active Journal and wall charts and can follow the weekly schedule of activities to keep active.
Have Fun Being Active Everybody!!!
Children from 1st -6th class enjoyed harvesting the lovely vegetables sown last Spring. 4th & 5th class pupils were very eager to see the produce from their mini garden which they cared for so well since the Spring. Thank you to Jim Hanrahan who helped set up and maintain our garden. Jim passed on lots of gardening knowledge to our garden carers. Well done to all involved. Enjoy our photos below.
