Holding History visited the college!

27th November 2025

Pupils from Years 10–14 enjoyed an amazing hands-on history experience at St Kevin’s as Holding History visited the college!

Mr Seán McNicholl delivered fascinating talks and showcased a remarkable collection of artefacts ranging from the early 1900s right up to 2010. These included weapons landed at Larne and Howth during the Home Rule crisis, as well as barbed wire and an Irish Volunteer belt buckle recovered from the Somme.

Students also had the chance to examine original documents such as newspapers from the Irish War of Independence, World War Two, the Hunger Strikes of 1980–81 and the Good Friday Agreement era.

To top it all off, Holding History brought along a Snatch Land Rover that saw service in Belfast (1990s) and Iraq (2005).

Our pupils showed incredible enthusiasm and curiosity throughout—what an unforgettable visit from this unique “museum of modern history”!

St Kevin’s Students Take Part in World Children’s Day Event at Stormont

25th November 2025

Last Thursday, students from St Kevin’s College proudly represented their school at Stormont as part of a special event marking World Children’s Day. They joined young people from schools across Northern Ireland to celebrate this important occasion, which focuses on promoting and protecting the rights of children worldwide.

The event was designed to give students a voice on issues that matter most to them, while also helping them understand the role of government and how they can influence positive change in their communities. Throughout the day, participants engaged in discussions about children’s rights, equality, and the importance of youth involvement in decision-making.

A highlight of the day was the opportunity to meet Chris Quinn, the Northern Ireland Commissioner for Children and Young People.

By taking part in this event, the St Kevin’s students demonstrated leadership, confidence, and a commitment to making a difference. Their participation reflects the school’s dedication to empowering young people and encouraging active citizenship.

We are committed to ensuring they have the very best technology to support their success.

We can't wait to see the incredible work they achieve!
