Special Olympians Visit

Special Olympics – On Thursday the 22nd of May, we were called in to the hall to meet Special Olympians, and past pupils, Siobhan Conneely and David McLaughlin. Siobhan is Liam’s aunt. They will represent Connaught in dressage and kayaking. It was very interesting to hear about their sports and to ask them about their plans. Siobhan hopes to study art and design, while David plans a career in animation. We had great fun chatting to them and are very proud of our past pupils.

Special Olympics 2014

We are honoured here in Kiltiernan NS to have two past pupils representing Connacht in this year’s Special Olympics. Siobhán Conneely, (Liam’s aunty) will represent her province in Equestrian (dressage) while David McLoughlin will compete in kayaking. If successful in Limerick, they will represent Ireland in Los Angeles in summer 2015.

The Special Olympics Ireland Games 2014 take place in Limerick from the 12th – 15th June. We hope to hold a small fundraising event soon to help send them on their way.

Pictured here are Siobhán and David, with gold medals for swimming, which they won while attending Kiltiernan some time ago.

We wish them all the very best in their future endeavours.

Mairead McGuinness MEP visited our school on February 14th, 2014 to view the school environment and assess the impact of recent flooding on our school. She listened to the concerns of our principal, Edel Leech and a local deputation led by Mattie Hallinan. The concerns were

1. Sanitation hazards due to rising water table

2. Risk of flooding in the grounds and building

3. How the newly proposed M18 construction will effect drainage in the school grounds

4. The provision of runoff from the newly constructed road

County Hurling Final
The boys were in a county hurling final against Kiltormer on the 9th of June. They played very well and came within two points of the other team but unfortunately, it was not to be our year. The team and subs were presented with medals for their great efforts and achievement. We’re proud of you boys, well done.
