📚 Back to School! 🍎

We are looking forward to welcoming all of our pupils back to school tomorrow. We hope everyone has had a wonderful and relaxing summer. ☀️

As we begin the new school year, establishing good routines from the start can help children settle back into school life. Regular bedtimes, a healthy breakfast, getting school bags and uniforms ready the night before, and arriving at school on time can all help make those first few weeks a little smoother.

We can't wait to get the new school year underway and see our school community back together!

Please see our Back to School schedule below. ⬇️

One of the most anticipated events of the school year certainly didn't disappoint! ⚽🙌

Our Staff vs Students Football Match had everyone on the edge of their seats as both teams gave it their all. After an incredibly close and entertaining contest, the match remained level at 2-2 and had to be decided by a dramatic penalty shootout!

Congratulations to the pupils, who held their nerve to claim victory and, more importantly, the bragging rights! 🏆🎉

A huge well done to everyone who took part and to all the pupils who came along to cheer on both teams. It was a fantastic way to round off the school year, full of fun, teamwork and plenty of memorable moments!

We are incredibly proud of each and every one of our award recipients and congratulate them on this well-deserved achievement. 👏

We celebrated a very special milestone as our Early Start children graduated and prepared for the next exciting chapter of their school journey. 🎓✨

We are so proud of everything they have achieved this year. From making new friends and building confidence to learning through play and discovering new skills every day, they have all grown so much.

A huge thank you to our wonderful Early Start team, Liz and Catherine, and to the families for their support throughout the year.

We wish our graduates the very best as they move on and continue their learning adventures. Well done, everyone! 🌟

Yesterday, we held the final of our annual Phil Dunne Football Leagues.

Each year, this competition is held in memory of the late Mr Phil Dunne, a former teacher in St Kevin's who established the tournament during his time in our school. His legacy continues through this much-loved competition, which promotes teamwork, participation and a love of sport among our pupils.

We were delighted to welcome Phil's brother, Raymond, back to the school to spectate at the final and participate in the awards ceremony afterwards. Raymond shared some encouraging words with the boys about the importance of sport in our lives and the positive impact it can have both on and off the pitch. We thank him for joining us on such a special occasion.

A special thank you also to Mrs Comerford for preparing a beautiful prayer and poem in honour of Phil.

The final itself was an exciting and closely contested game between Australia and Morocco. Both teams displayed tremendous skill, determination and sportsmanship throughout. Congratulations to Morocco, who emerged victorious with a 1-0 win, and commiserations to Australia, who put in a fantastic performance.

Player of the Tournament awards were presented to one pupil from each class from 3rd to 6th Class. Congratulations to all of the recipients, whose outstanding contributions, effort and teamwork throughout the tournament were recognised.

Finally, a huge thank you to Ms McKiernan for organising the tournament and refereeing the games throughout the competition. Her hard work and dedication ensured another successful and enjoyable Phil Dunne Football League for all involved.

Our 5th and 6th Class boys had a fantastic day out at Flynn Park!

The boys explored the Aqua Lough Water Park and participated in a range of team-building games, showing great teamwork, encouragement and enthusiasm throughout the day. There were plenty of laughs, lots of splashes and some very competitive challenges along the way!

A great day was had by both pupils and staff, and it was wonderful to see everyone enjoying themselves and making lasting memories together.

We had a very special day in our school as we proudly raised our Green Flag for Biodiversity.

This achievement reflects the hard work, commitment and enthusiasm of so many people over the past number of years. We are incredibly proud of our boys, the Green Schools Committee, our dedicated teachers and SNAs, and our School Gardening Club for all they have done to help make our school a greener, more biodiverse place.

Together, they have created new habitats, cared for our school grounds, promoted biodiversity throughout the school and inspired others to take action for the environment. Their efforts were recognised nationally when we were named Biodiversity Primary School of the Year, and our flag-raising ceremony was a fitting celebration of all that has been achieved.

A sincere thank you to everyone who joined us for the occasion and helped make the day so memorable. We are especially grateful to the Garda Band for providing such wonderful music and adding so much to the celebration.

We would also like to thank Finglas Credit Union, Finglas West Family Resource Centre, GIY, An Taisce The National Trust for Ireland and the Green-Schools Programme for their support, encouragement and partnership throughout our biodiversity journey.

Thank you to our past pupils who returned to celebrate with us, and to News2day for helping us share our story with a national audience on RTÉ2. The boys spoke so well and were excellent representatives for our school.

We are grateful to our parents, Board of Management, Parents’ Association, staff and wider school community for their continued support of our environmental initiatives.

Our biodiversity award is a testament to what can be achieved when everybody works together towards a shared goal. We hope it will continue to inspire future generations of children to care for and protect the natural world around them.

Well done to everyone involved. We are incredibly proud of this achievement and of our school community.

Our feature on News2day (Friday 12th June) can be watched back on the RTÉ Player.
