Prizegiving 2024

28th October 2024

Last Friday, we had the privilege of gathering with our esteemed Board of Governors, dedicated staff, and, of course, our incredibly talented students to celebrate a truly memorable prizegiving ceremony. This annual event is a time to honour the hard work, dedication, and achievements of our students, each one having demonstrated excellence, resilience, and a commitment to personal growth.

Every student recognized that day has put in the effort, shown unwavering perseverance, and achieved remarkable goals. Whether excelling academically, making strides in extracurricular activities, or being positive role models within our school community, you have each added to the spirit and success of our college. We are immensely proud of you and all that you represent.

To each student who stood before us on Friday: your achievements are a testament not only to your talents and efforts but also to the strength and support of those around you – your families, friends, teachers, and everyone at Saint Kevin's College. You inspire us with your enthusiasm, resilience, and achievements, and we look forward to seeing how you will continue to grow and make your mark in the years ahead.

Congratulations, once again, to each and every one of you! 🌟 Your hard work has paid off, and we couldn’t be prouder of all you have accomplished.

The Carlos Acutis group organized a wonderful treat with former student Paddy Treacy singing to kick off our Halloween break! Students danced to songs performed by Paddy and Paul Kelly, making it a successful event where the faith group raised funds for their upcoming trip to Katui.

Congratulations to everyone involved - check out the highlights of the day!

Geography Trip to the Caves!

25th October 2024

We began our day at the Gortatole activity centre, getting equipped with wellies and waterproofs, followed by a briefing on risk assessment and instructions on how to use the tools for collecting river data. The Claddagh River, with its fascinating underground disappearance at the Marble Arch Caves in the limestone region, provided an excellent subject for our study.

Starting from the Cuilcagh Mountain car park in the Cuilcagh Lakelands Geopark, we set out to begin our river study. At each location, the students applied their newly learned techniques to gather data on the river's cross-sectional area, velocity, and bedload size and roundness.

After a quick lunch break at the Marble Arch Caves, we continued to the final sites along the Claddagh River, downstream from Claddagh Glen. The weather was perfect, though river levels were slightly lower than usual for the season.

All in all, it was a fantastic and rewarding day!
