PROSPECTUS ST KIERAN’S COLLEGE KILKENNY a Welcome from the Principal St Kieran’s College Kilkenny Founded 1782 SCHOOL HISTORY St Kieran’s College was established in 1782, ‘the first Catholic College in the Kingdom’ to open its doors after Grattan’s Parliament had relaxed the penal Laws in the same year. The College was situated in a number of different locations, Burrell’s Hall (now St Mary’s Cathedral) before the foundation stone of the present neo-Gothic building was blessed in 1836. In keeping with the aims of the College founders, we, at St Kieran’s College strive to prepare educated, committed and resilient young people, keeping in mind its particular role in promoting solid Christian values. MISSION AND ETHOS St Kieran’s College, as Ireland’s oldest all-boys Catholic Secondary School, continues its founding aim of the pursuit of real excellence in education and formation, in the light of the Gospel, so as to allow all our students to realise the fullness of their potential. Academically, spiritually, physically and emotionally our students are encouraged to strive for all that is possible in the relentless pursuit of perfecting their individual gifts and talents. In so doing they bring to life the joy intended by our motto, “Hiems Transiit”, for themselves, those they love and the community where they will live, serve and lead. ST KIERAN’S PRAYER That I may, reach as high as is possible; believe with all my being; learn with all my power; give with all my heart; and pray with all my soul. That I may teach in ways that are gentle, and carry victory and loss in perspective. That I may grow each day, here - in some new way. That I may look back in thanks and always forward in hope And, that I may ever know the steadfast support of you Kieran our Saint, who came from Cape Clear to Saigher with faith, trust and hope. A future yet untold. Welcome 2 PROSPECTUS ST KIERAN’S COLLEGE KILKENNY A welcome from the Principal On behalf of everyone at St Kierans College, I would like to welcome you. I hope that this prospectus will afford you an opportunity to get an insight into this wonderful school community and to get a sense of all that St Kieran’s College entails. With a history that dates back to 1782, we cherish our heritage and we are committed to honouring it by continuing to strive for real excellence in education - we are, then, relentless in the pursuit of academic excellence and the development, and maturation, of the whole person of each and every student; supporting them as they nurture their gifts and talents to become the best version of themselves that is possible. We are rightly proud of our immense academic achievements, our records in the areas of the arts, of music, poetry and drama, our strong sporting tradition in athletics, hurling and so many other areas. It is in educating the whole person that school success is found - it is in supporting all students in the development of their individual, and unique gifts that we best fulfil our mission. Chasing the best version of each of our students is the task of every member of our school community. I am proud, then, to lead a team of a wonderfully committed staff - each of whom work to support, nurture, and care for all of our students. The pursuit of their best is only as strong as the supports we offer them on that journey and our pastoral and guidance team are but the head of a whole school approach to care. I know that many of you will have had experience of St Kieran’s College before, whereas others may be joining us for the first time - to all I invite you to sample a snapshot of life in St Kieran’s College in this prospectus, on what may be the start of you and your son’s journey in education with us. Mr Adrian Finan Principal, St Kieran’s College Welcome 3 PROSPECTUS ST KIERAN’S COLLEGE KILKENNY A welcome from the President I am delighted to welcome you to St Kieran’s College, our diocesan Secondary School by means of this prospectus. Since we first began in 1782 St Kieran’s College has remained faithful to its original mission and ethos: the education and formation of each student to the highest standards, based on the values of the Gospel. We strive, therefore, to provide the opportunity for students who come to St Kieran’s the possibility to achieve the fullness of their potential academically, personally, sportingly and spiritually. It is humbling to witness the variety of the gifts and talents of our students. They are as many as the pupils we educate - from music to drama, debating to maths, poetry to science, languages to sporting successes and so much more… It is a privilege for us to journey with these men as they hone their talents through practice and commitment. Educating them is a sacred duty, guiding them is an honour, coaching them is a privilege, encouraging them is a simple task and enjoying the fruits of their gifts - a joy. As the oldest Catholic Secondary School in Ireland, we are very proud of our past; and of those who left here carrying that tradition with them, we are immensely proud! But it is the future that we think about most: how can we continue to best prepare our students to serve as leaders in the Ireland of tomorrow? I know you will find in St Kieran’s College a community that is welcoming, supportive and encouraging. Maybe this is the continuation of your family’s tradition with St Kieran’s or maybe it is the beginning of a new one ... which ever it may be, you are most welcome. Rev. Dr Dermot Ryan President, St Kieran’s College Welcome 4 PROSPECTUS ST KIERAN’S COLLEGE KILKENNY WSE WHOLE SCHOOL EVALUATION Recently, a team of Inspectors from the Department of Education and Skills conducted a Whole School Evaluation in the school. It is tremendously gratifying for everyone involved in the St Kieran’s College community that the findings are so positive and are a glowing endorsement of what the school seeks to achieve. The following are some of the key findings from the WSE Inspection: • The Inspectorate observed that our mission, which states that our students are encouraged to strive for all that is possible in the relentless pursuit of perfecting their individual gifts and talents, “is lived out in practice.” • The Inspectorate recognised that “the Board of Management and the Senior Management Team promote excellence in teaching and learning” and “promote a culture of learning”. • They observed that “very well-organised student support structures are in place” and that, as a result, our “students were very focused and able to work purposefully.” • “In all lessons, there was a good atmosphere for learning, students were motivated to learn and showed high levels of respect towards their teachers and each other.” This is very affirming of the dedication and commitment of our students, staff, management and parents who all work so closely together to create this positive school environment. • “Student successes are celebrated in many ways, including on visual displays around the school, at assemblies, on the school website and at the end-of-year awards. The school has recently achieved the Amber Flag in recognition of its commitment to mental health awareness.” The full report is published on www.education.ie Whole School Evaluation (WSE) 5 PROSPECTUS ST KIERAN’S COLLEGE KILKENNY JUNIOR CYCLE CORE SUBJECTS ELECTIVES English (with tasters in First Year) Geography Applied Technology History Business Irish Music Maths Technical Graphics Modern Foreign Language - Visual Art French or Spanish (compulsory Wood Technology for Junior Cycle) Religious Education Wellbeing Science CSPE PE SPHE A Broad Curriculum 6 PROSPECTUS ST KIERAN’S COLLEGE KILKENNY SENIOR CYCLE CORE SUBJECTS Art Geography English Biology History Irish Business Studies Home Economics Maths Chemistry Music Construction Studies Physical Education ELECTIVES Design and Communications Physics Accounting Graphics Religious Education Agricultural Science Economics Spanish Applied Maths Engineering Applied Technology French A Broad Curriculum 7 PROSPECTUS ST KIERAN’S COLLEGE KILKENNY EXTENSIVE EDUCATION FACILITIES Twenty Two acre campus Fully equipped Science Laboratories Information Technology rooms Dedicated Art room Fully equipped suite of iPads on trolley Fully stocked Library Dedicated Career Guidance Room Specialised Construction/Woodwork rooms All classrooms have digital projector, speakers and computer School Chapel more >>>>> Our Facilities 8 PROSPECTUS ST KIERAN’S COLLEGE KILKENNY EXTENSIVE EDUCATION FACILITIES >>>>> Pastoral Care Office Two Technology rooms Specialised Design & Communication Graphics room Fully equipped Gym Specialised Music room Study Hall Weights room Four Indoor Handball/Squash courts Canteen Five outdoor playing fields - Two with floodlights and Dressing Rooms Our Facilities 9 PROSPECTUS ST KIERAN’S COLLEGE KILKENNY Brian Dowling Fergal Brennan WELLBEING AND PASTORAL Anne Wemyss CARE Pastoral Care in St Kieran’s College has evolved over the The Wellbeing of all members of the St Kieran’s years in providing a whole school approach to caring for College community is of paramount importance to us our students.

  • 'Ducksy' Walsh Reaped a Golden Harvest by Lorcan O'rourke The
    ‘Ducksy’ Walsh Reaped a Golden Harvest By Lorcan O'Rourke The sad news we were expecting during the first week of August, but hoped would never come, eventually came when 'Ducksy’ went to his eternal reward on Thursday 4 August. His passing is a tremendous loss, firstly to his wife, Sheena, their children, Dylan, Megan and Niamh, and his siblings, to Irish handball, the international handball fraternity, his friends, neighbours and the GAA in general, especially in Kilkenny where he was so highly regarded, honoured and respected. His achievements on the handball court will never be equalled. He amassed an amazing 108 All-Ireland titles, four World titles, a Texaco Award and innumerable National and Provincial medals as well as a host of tournament trophies. And he deserved every accolade, title, medal and honour which came his way. He earned them all and worked so hard to achieve the ultimate in perfection to reach the top of the sport. He was a genius, an artist, a complete master of his craft who gave of his best, who wanted to be the best and who achieved that. His astonishing cache of 38 All-Ireland senior medals is equalled by the combined total of All-Ireland senior hurling medals won on the field of play in Croke Park by Henry Shefflin (10), J J Delaney (8), Jackie Tyrrell (7), Tommy Walsh (7), and Noel Skehan (6). What an amazing feat between 1985 and 2001! We can name any number of well-known sportspersons – for example, Jack O’Shea, Henry Shefflin, Angela Downey, Brian O’Driscoll, Sonia O’Sullivan, Roy Keane, Bernard Dunne, Pádraig Harrington –and ‘Ducksy’ was their equal in his own sport: he was meticulous in preparation for every match, respected every opponent, had fierce determination to win and always did everything necessary to make it happen.

    2021 GAA MEDIA GUIDE Treoirleabhar na Meán 2021 @officialgaa 2021 GAA Media Guide - Teachtaireacht ón Uachtaráin Ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur romhaibh go léir ar ais chuig ár gcluichí The last 14 months have come as a challenge to us all and while we have some distance to travel before we can once again look forward to big games with full stadiums, there are green shoots ahead of us. Who could have known in mid-March last year when we took the decision to shut our activities down, that the Covid challenge would still be front and centre as the summer of 2021 approaches? The best of the GAA shone as we grappled with profound changes to our lives and the supports provided by our club and county network to those who needed them most was both heartening and reassuring. Our games when they returned were a welcome tonic. The club championships and all of the activity that preceded them helped breathe life back into communities right across the GAA family. Similarly, in the darkest days of winter the inter-county games provided us with a focal point and a welcome distraction as we grew accustomed to supporting our players and teams from afar. In the coming weeks, the Allianz League games will come thick and fast and the interest and excitement will follow. We have shown flexibility in organising our competitions, most notably in football where again a straight knockout approach will apply. I would like to acknowledge the buy-in from everyone concerned in helping to make both last year and this season work, and I have no doubt that the entertainment value and profile of the games will be as high as ever.

  • Programme Plus – Vol
    PROGRAMME PLUS – VOL. 2, NUMBER 2, MARCH 3 rd , 2017 Hello readers, and welcome to the 14th edition of Programme Plus which comes to you in the midst of a very busy period for games in both codes. With the Allianz Leagues in full swing, not to mention second and third level colleges competitions drawing to a conclusion, there’s plenty of material out there for the enthusiast to get their hands on. I’m going to start this month with a simple plea, and I would urge as many readers as possible to take heed. There’s only so much material I can generate on my own, and there’s a strong likelihood that after a certain period the well will run dry. A small number of collectors have been extremely helpful and supportive in terms of supplying material and general assistance, but I’d like many more to step up. I love receiving contributions from elsewhere, because it keeps the content fresh. I don’t want to continue supplying 90% of the material because if this persists I will get fed up and spend the time it takes to put this bulletin together concentrating on my own collection instead. Believe you me, it need attention! A case in point was the plea for help in compiling a database of club histories, made in the last edition following a suggestion from Tony Sheehan. Tony has done a lot of work on the Cork angle, and I’m also very grateful to Joe Lonergan and Patrick Donegan for their contributions on Tipperary and Offaly respectively.
