To complete this home from home experience, all children within the primary school may avail of after school care or homework supervision, for just half an
hour or up to six o’clock each day. Dinner is also available. St. Kilian’s children compete in regional, national and international competitions and have been rewarded
many times over in subjects ranging from Sport to Music to Science. For parents the rewards are happy, well adjusted children, each achieving his/her best in a stimulating, liberal, educational environment.
Classes begin at 8.30 and finish at 12.55. From class 3, children are offered voluntary afternoon activities, and from class 5 there are afternoon classes three times a week until 14.50 or 15.30 in addition to the afternoon activities.
On Fridays the primary school closes at 12.55 p.m. However, afternoon supervision (crèche and supervised studies), tennis classes and music lessons are available.
