Wishing Katie Taylor the very best of luck from everyone at St Kilian’s Community School.

We are so proud of Katie as she continues to inspire our whole school community with her extraordinary achievements, her resilience, and the dignity she brings to every stage of her career.

Tonight’s historic event in a sold-out Croke Park is a testament to the impact she has made on Irish sport and on the nation.
We are immensely proud of her journey and all she has accomplished.

As Katie prepares for her well‑earned retirement, we want to thank her for the example she has set for generations of young people, showing what determination, humility and hard work can achieve.

Best of luck tonight, Katie, and every happiness in the next chapter.

As we wrap up the school year, we also mark a very special moment in St Kilian’s, Mr John Murphy’s final week in the school after 41 years of incredible service.
Mr Murphy will continue working until August, but these last few days with students in the building are something we want to acknowledge and celebrate. For over four decades, he has been a teacher, a coach, a deputy principal and, for the last 14 years, our principal. He has led St Kilian’s with ambition, compassion and a deep belief in every young person who walks through our doors.
His commitment to equality of opportunity, his knowledge of the Ballywaltrim community, and his unwavering student-centred approach have shaped this school in ways that will last long after he retires.
Thank you, Mr Murphy, for everything you have given to St Kilian’s. You will be missed, and we wish you every happiness as you prepare for a well-earned retirement.

We are incredibly proud of all our students who competed at SciFest last week in TUD Tallaght. SciFest gives students the opportunity to explore their curiosity, creativity, and passion for science in a hands-on and meaningful way. From innovative experiments to insightful research projects across biology, psychology and physics, our students showed impressive dedication, problem-solving skills, and confidence in presenting their work – Well done to everyone involved!



👏 A special congratulations to our SciFest award winners, Aimee Burke, Sadie Forde and Amelia O’Brien, whose project titled ‘A Study to Determine if Gamification Improves Sleep Duration for Young People Aged 12-15’ stood out on the day and earned an impressive 2nd place in the Junior Psychology category—a fantastic achievement! Well done!!



SciFest continues to inspire a love of STEM subjects and encourages students to think critically and creatively. Everyone who took part should be incredibly proud of their effort and achievements, as they truly embodied the spirit of discovery and innovation that SciFest celebrates. We are very proud of all who represented our school so brilliantly. 💡✨
