Third to Sixth Class had an amazing time at Peace Proms 2024 at University of Limerick last night! Peace Proms is a music education resource for Primary Schools that brings the magic of music to life! The atmosphere was fantastic! Well done to everyone involved! What a fantastic night!

On Sunday the 29^th of January, pupils from 3^rd to 6^th Class went to the University of Limerick to perform in Peace Proms 2023. The pupils got the opportunity to sing in a choir with hundreds of other children, perform with a full symphony youth orchestra and work with one of the UK’s leading professional conductors – Greg Beardsell. Everyone who attended will agree that the event was a spectacular success and we are very proud of our pupils. This is the culmination of months of work by staff members preparing pupils for the night. A massive thank you to everyone.

It was wonderful to be able to celebrate Grandparents’ Day this year. It was a pleasure to welcome the huge number of grandparents who turned up to visit Kilcornan National School. The pupils put on some fantastic performances and everyone had a very memorable morning! Thank you to the community council for the use of the hall, Jim Mc Grath for providing beautiful music and the Parents’ Council for their hard work preparing for the event and hosting our special visitors.

After two years of a hiatus, we were delighted to be able to bring back Kilcornan National School's annual Christmas show. Pupils from Junior Infants to Second Class put on a nativity based musical called 'Whoops A Daisy Angel', while pupils from Third to Sixth Class performed a selection of Christmas songs and songs from their upcoming Peace Proms performance. We are incredibly proud of all the pupils!

Thank you to the staff for their hard work in ensuring the pupils were extremely well prepared for the shows. Thank you to the Parents' Council for organising the raffle and providing refreshments for both shows. We are very grateful to the community centre for the use of the hall and to Mike O'Connell for all his work preparing the stage and providing lighting and sound. Thank you to everyone who supported the show, prepared the pupils and helped with staging and costumes.

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and a healthy and happy new year. We look forward to welcoming pupils back to Kilcornan on Thursday 5th January!
