Altar cloth for Eucharist congress. (posted 13/2/12)
Pupils from the school recently participated in a project to design and create a piece of an altar cloth that will be used to celebrate the Eucharistic congress in the diocese. The winning design was composed from the designs of Nicole Heffernan, Alex Colton, Aaron and Éabha Flanagan.
These pieces will be sewn together with patches from every primary school in the diocese to make an Altar Cloth, 6 meters by 3 meters, for use at the Diocesan Congress, and in Dublin at the international Congress, on the Tuesday, when the Diocese will gather in Dublin.

Killeigh NS on Radio (posted 16/12/2011)
The Midlands favourite DJ Ann Marie Kelly visited our school today. While she was in she was treated to a preview of the 1st and 2nd class nativity play. She recorded the play and some of it will hopefully be played next Tuesday morning. The pupils of 3rd to 6th class also recorded a special Christmas jingle. It was a very enjoyable experience and a big thank you goes out to Ann Marie for coming in.
