October Newsletter 2015

It has been a busy month here at St. Kilian's and everybody enjoyed their well-deserved mid-term break. Now the school is back in full swing and we have the St. Martin's celebrations in Primary School and the Christmas Bazaar coming up in November (details will be on our website soon!). We hope you will enjoy reading our October newsletter and find out what has been happening at St. Kilian's during the past few weeks. We would also like to encourage you to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for instant updates on school and sports activities.
