While we don't have a school hall here at KETNS we are lucky to be able to partner up with the Brothers of Charity locally and they kindly allow us to use their hall from time to time. An indoor space is more suitable to implement some of the PE strands and Senior Infants make great use of their time here.
A Tai Chi session with Master Bartley was such a treat for 5th Class - It was enjoyed by all despite the grey weather!
Volleyball is new to our school this year. We are very lucky to have Coach Lee working with 5th and 6th class to learn some new skills. October 2021
Teaming up with Cycle Right Ireland once again! 5th Class thoroughly enjoyed their sessions.

Today our 3rd and 4th Class boys participated in a Hurling Blitz in Loughgeorge. They had a great day out playing against other schools and were very proud to wear their school jerseys.
Our Forest School
Here at Kilcolgan Educate Together we are very proud to have two trained Forest School leaders and wonderful parent volunteers who work with Second Class to deliver outdoor education through Forest School. It takes place in our beautiful surrounding woodlands every second Friday. Forest school encourages and supports the development of confidence and self-esteem, social skills, motivation, concentration and physical skills. It complements the Outdoor and Adventure Strand of the PE curriculum and our journey to achieve our Active Flag. You can check out their adventures by clicking below.
