Christmas Holidays

As we come to the end of the term in school, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the incredible support you have given the school over the last term.

A big thank you to our Parents Association and Board of Management for their continued help and support too.

As you are no doubt aware, we will close for the Christmas holidays on Wednesday, 21st December at 12.00 for Special Classes, Junior & Senior Infants, and at 12.30 for all other classes.

We look forward to welcoming all staff and pupils back, refreshed and rested on Thursday, 5th of January 2023.

Nollaig Shona agus athbhliain faoi mhaise daoibh go léir!

Many of our classes have represented our school by carol singing in a number of local areas recently.


Our school choir sang beautifully in the annual Carol Service at Clonakilty Parish Church last Sunday.


Our 5th and 6th classes raised money for Clonakilty Playground by carol singing at the Post Office in Clonakilty on Friday 9th of December.


Our 2nd Class fundraised for Saint Vincent DePaul and Clonakilty Lodge by carol singing in Clonakilty town on Friday 16th of December. The current Clonakilty Mayor Paddy McCarthy can be seen joining our 2nd Class carol singing in the video below. 


Finally, our 3rd Class entertained the residents of Bushmount Nursing Home by carol singing on Monday 12th of December.


Well done to all involved in these recitals. You did Knockskeagh proud! 😀

Over the last two Thursdays, classes from 1st to 6th have engaged in Drama workshops as part of the BLAST in education initiative. 


Our assigned resident artist for this year is Alison Glennie and she has been focusing on mime, movement and drama games in the workshops.


Classes explored mythical creatures in todays drama workshop, which was great fun. 


These residenceies are supported by the Department of Education and organised through the West Cork education centres. 


Many thanks to Alision for the fun and engaging workshops which will continue into the new year.

We were delighted to be in a position to welcome Flavie back to our school for Zumba dancing classes for all school children recently.


Flavie visits us every Wednesday and we can look forward to more Zumba classes in the new year.


The classes are a really enjoyable experience for all our pupils and they love to hear when it is time for Zumba.😀
