Candlelight Christmas Cheer

On Friday 13th December, Knockskeagh NS hosted their first “Candlelight Christmas Cheer” concert on Astna Square in Clonakilty. 🎵

This concert showcased talent from 2nd and 5th classes, whilst also showcasing talent amongst our staff. 🎵 This concert was held to promote Christmas cheer in the town and also raise money for the local charity, Cancer Connect. On the night, over €800 was raised and we were blown away by your generosity! Thank you very much for your donations. 💖

Well done to all involved in this concert. You did Knockskeagh proud! 😀

Here is a video of some of the staff performances.
