We are delighted to announce that we have an All Ireland Champion in our school. That’s right, Ciaran Rice won the 5th class National Mathletes Final in Dublin last weekend and was crowned All Ireland Champion. He competed against the top 30 students from all over Ireland in various maths exercises which involved problem solving, a team event and a maths time trial. He has worked very hard both at home and in school, with the help of Khan Academy, in preparation for this event and deserved his success. Ciaran received a trophy, a medal and an ipad for his efforts. We are all very proud of his efforts and we hope to have one or two more representatives in the regional and national finals next year as we continue to promote maths in our school

The school will be closed on Friday 23rd May because of the Local and European Elections.

A huge congratulations to Liam Healy and Ciaran Rice who represented the school and Kilkenny in the provincial finals of the MATHletes challenge 2014. Liam was awarded the Kilkenny MATHletes Champion medal for 6th class while Ciaran was awarded the Kilkenny MATHletes Champion medal for 5th class. Ciaran also went on to come 2nd in Leinster in the MATHletes Challenge and will now go to the National Finals on May 24th in Dublin where he will compete against the top 30 5th class students from all over Ireland. We are very proud of the achievement of the 2 boys and wish Ciaran the best of luck in the National Finals.
