A reminder about our No Smartphone Voluntary Code. We hope that all families involved in the 3 local schools and the 2 local GAA clubs will sit down together and discuss the code and then make a decision on signing the charter. While it is voluntary in nature, we are very hopeful that you will give it some serious consideration.
After a busy school year, our homework programme is almost complete.
We are having our annual Active Week on Tuesday 2nd June - Friday 5th June this year! For the week, please ensure that children are in their school tracksuits and are wearing comfortable shoes because there will be plenty of exercise and activities taking place. Please also bring extra drinks!
Dear parents,
Our own Mr. Niall Shanahan organised another wonderful Inclusive Athletics event in UL this year which was attended by 750 students from across Limerick City & County. This is a special, magical, fun day designed to be a safe, happy and inclusive place for all kids to enjoy 80m races, obstacle courses, tug of war, soccer, parachute fun, to mention but a few of the activities. All children received medals, got to experience a variety of sports from golf, rugby, rowing and tennis. Everyone was treated to a live performance from a magician, and there was an endless supply of ice-cream!
On Wednesday 13th of May, the primary schools athletics day took place in UL. We had 40 children representing Knockea. All of the children performed incredibly well and there were many podium finishes.
The calendar for school year 2026/2027 was released today.
Well done to the boys and girls from 3rd-6th class who attended after-school training over the last few weeks. Training is now completed for this year.
Congratulations to this pupil who represented the school and successfully won the Mick Neville Cup with the East Limerick Camogie Team.
Congratulations to this boy who represented his school, Knockea N.S. and parish club, South Liberties at the recent Primary Games held at half time in Ennis last Sunday.
Dear parents,
This term we are hoping to restructure one of the spaces in the school to be used as a multi-purpose room. Our aim is to create a space which is calm, quiet, comfortable and available to any child that may need a break from the hustle and bustle of the school day and avail of some down-time. We are so grateful for the support you gave for our Easter raffle which the Student Council organised before the holidays. This raffle raised an amazing €1241 and we will use this money now to cover the cost of repurposing the space for use as a "downtime/sensory room" . Without the monies raised and your support , we would not be in a position to be able to consider doing this. The aim here always is to use all the space we have within the school to benefit all our pupils.
As part of our continued work promoting Wellbeing, the whole school got together to celebrate the end of the term to drop everything and dance.
Reminder: School is closed to celebrate St. Patrick's weekend on Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th March.
Wishing the very best to our pupils in 6th class due to be confirmed on the 13th March. We hope that you and your families have a lovely day celebrating this special occasion.
