We said a fond farewell to our 6th class on Tuesday. We wish them every success as they look forward to starting secondary school and the new chapters to come. We are extremely proud of the young people they have become and know that they will continue to do Kilberry N.S. proud.

Congratulations Class of 2016!!

6th class read a very special poem which they had composed themselves for their graduation mass.

Our school is proudly flying two new flags overhead as our JEP and Green flag for water were raised last Friday.

Ironically, we had plenty of ‘water’ on the day as the weather proved uncooperative but we were determined to see our flags raised and braved the rain!

Huge thanks goes to Mr. O’Sullivan and Ms. Carter, 5th and 6th class and the Water committee for all the work they put in to achieve the flags.

Our Water flag was raised by committee members, Seamus and Jack.

The JEP flag was raised by Molly, Lila-Ann and Sarah and our two new flags are now flying proudly outside our school!
