Sorry! Sports Club is on hold for the moment. We will let you know when registration is open.

The idea behind the Sports Club is to provide children with the opportunity to try and experience different sports to help their physical and fitness development and help them to find a sport they might like.
After one year of Sports Club we have found it a great success and the kids are having a great time. We have changed the format to changing the sports from week to week depending on the levels of enjoyment.
After School Sports Club is €15 for the 1st child in a family and €5 for every subsequent child (This fee is on a PER TERM basis). These funds go directly back into the Sports Club.

Junior & Senior Infants (and all Preschoolers). We have found that this age group get a lot out of the club and we can accommodate this age group if the parent is present.
Sorry! Games Club is on hold for the moment. We will let you know when registration is open.
The idea of Games Club is to introduce children to a variety of board games. These will include the more traditional chess, draughts etc....plus other board games to provide choice and fun for everyone.
The club is more suited to children from 1st class upwards but children from Infant classes are very welcome if a parent can be present.

This process has now gone online. Please email PA@kilcolganetns.com for Information.
The Kilcolgan Educate Together Parents Association would like to welcome you to the school.
Every single parent is a member of this PA, with around 30 parents being part of a active group. This group works through meetings, email and the school website. I know that TIME is something that is difficult to make and I also know that Parental involvement is a must for your child to do well at school. Research shows that children do better in school when parents are engaged in their child's school. Engaged can be anything from knowing what is happening in school to participating in events, or simply having a voice. This YouTube link is from a talk last year at the NPC Conference by Annie Kidder who conducted the research. To enable communication, we would like to add your contact details to our Class Lists. Why do we want your information?

We are trialling a more central communication system with a dedicated PA email address and no longer using Parents as Class Reps. Please use the Get In Touch Link for any assistance. The new Email address is PA@Kilcolganetns.com
Our Parent Association was first established in 2010 with the first committee meeting held on the 12th of March the same year. The committee has grown steadily each year since alongside our growing school community.
