Sciath na Scoil

Our Sciath na Scoil boys team was narrowly beaten in their final against Kilmeen NS today.

The Knockskeagh team can be very proud of their performance as they played some excellent football! They kept going right till the end and showed great team spirit on the day but came up short to a very strong Kilmeen side. We’d like to congratulate Kilmeen on their victory.

Well done to all the team and to their managers Mr O’Meara and Mr O’Callaghan for all their work with the team 👍🏽

We are so proud of their performance.

St Patrick’s Day celebrations this year were something that we’ll certainly remember as it was a return to the in-person parade of a few years ago. 

Our school took part in the parade organised by the Clonakilty Mayoral Town Council. The theme for this year’s parade was “Le chéile arís”

As part of our parade,  the pupils made a huge effort with dressing up to mark the occasion,  in the emerald green of St Patricks Day attire or in the Knockskeagh jersey colours. 

We showcased all the wonderful activities on offer in our school and all that makes Knockskeagh so special in this year’s parade. 

Well done to all pupils and staff who made this such a special day.

Our gallery displays a snapshot of pictures from our school’s display in the  St Patrick Day parade in Clonakilty.

Jersey Day

To celebrate Clonakilty playing in the County Senior Football Final in Páirc Uí Caoimh next  Sunday.

We wore our club and county colours on Friday where everyone was invited to wear their Club or County colours or their favourite jersey.

There was an array of colour on display and it was great to see the positive impact that sport can have on our pupils and school community. It really was lovely to see the excitement the occasion brought to all the classes. 

We wish all the best to Clonakilty in the final and in particular to our two staff members, Mr Denis Murphy & Mr Conor O’Callaghan who are on the panel as well as our past pupil Mr Shane Collins.

Beir Bua!!
