Dear parents/guardians,

I hope your son/daughter is settling into their subject choices now.

I received a small number of emails seeking to be added to waiting lists for some subjects. As previously notified, most classes are full and I will be only be in contact if a place becomes available for your son/daughter. 

Unfortunately, I can not exceed the permitted number allowed in practical classes for health, safety and insurance reasons, so unless somebody leaves a subject there is no space in the class.

The following subjects (Business and Art) have very limited space available so if your son/daughter wants to see if it is possible to switch to one of these, please make conatct with me on joeleonard@cpckilcullen.com

Best wishes

J Leonard.

Our TY students enjoyed intercative workshops with SARI this week. 

SARI - Sports Against Racism Ireland delivered anti-discrimination workshops to all 4th Year class groups.

These workshops are supported by the UEFA Foundation for Children and the Irish Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth.

SARI deliver these anti-discrimination soccer workshops to schools all around the country addressing issues such as racism, sexism, homophobia and disabilities.

The workshops comprised of soccer training games and exercises with built in awareness of what it means to discriminate on and off the pitch. 

Well done to our wonderful 5th Leaving Cert Applied HCT class that prepared and served a fabulous morning tea to their teachers today. 

There was a variety of home baked goods including mincepies, meringue kisses and cookies. 

The room was set up so well and was a very warm and welcoming space. 

The students did themselves proud. 

Well done to all the students and their teacher Ms O Malley.
