Clonakilty Christmas Lights Singing

On Sunday 23rd November, Knockskeagh NS were asked to provide a choir for the opening of the Christmas Lights Celebration that was held in Clonakilty.🎵

This concert showcased talent from 5th and 6th classes and the carol singing was held to promote Christmas cheer prior to turning on the lights in the town, whilst also raising money for the Christmas lights fund. The choir entertained a large crowd at Astna Square and they showcased their unbelievable voices for everyone to hear.

On the day, 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! 😀

World Kindness Day

World Kindness Day

“In a world where you can be anything, be kind”

Tomorrow is World Kindness Day and today our Wellbeing team informed each class of the benefits of being kind to each other on a daily basis.

Encouraging kindness can help promote health, happiness, success and helps to create a less stressful environment for everyone.

Tomorrow, each of our pupils will aim to complete at least one intentional act of kindness to benefit someone else.

Maybe all our school community and followers would like to get in on the act tomorrow too. 😊

No matter what you decide to do, your act of kindness will unite you with others dedicated to changing the world one kind act at a time. ❤️

Halloween 2025

As ever there was great excitement for our annual Halloween parade which took place on our school yard this year. 

Huge credit must go to all who helped design and create such magnificent costumes. There was so much creativity on display throughout the classes. 😁

We encouraged the use of recycled costumes this year as part of our Green Schools initiative and the standard was extremely high. 

Our panel of secret judges had a tough job on their hands to pick award winners from each class. 

Please see our video reel below for a flavour of the amazing costumes on display around our school today.

Mid-term Break

We hope all pupils, parents, and staff enjoy a well-earned rest during the midterm break.
