Last Sunday Cairdeas organised a very successful Coffee Morning in aid of The Irish Cancer Society and €755 was raised on the morning. We would like to thank all who made the cakes and those who supported the Coffee Morning and enjoyed the chat!!!
We would like to thank all the children and parents for being so kind and generous in giving so many boxes for the Shoebox Appeal.
There was 113 boxes sent in and they have just left the school and on there way to children who will be so excited when they get them at Christmas!!!!!
Gripping performances at the Cork Pops!
We ask you to fill a shoebox with a range of simple Christmas gifts explained in the leaflet sent home with the kids during the week. Include €4 in an envelope, either on top of the gifts or taped to the inside of the lid. Don’t forget to indicate whether your box is for a BOY or a GIRL.

We have all been touched by cancer, directly or indirectly. The Irish Cancer Society are doing great work to support people affected by cancer. The Parents Association of Knockavilla National School would like to invite you to a coffee morning in aid of this worthy cause this coming Sunday @ 11am at Knockavilla Hall.
All Welcome! Hope to see you there!
The Golden Leaf Awards have been introduced as a way of encouraging and rewarding positive behaviours in line with the ethos of the school. Each week two pupils from every class are nominated for a Golden Leaf by members of staff. The twelve Golden Leaf Award winners are announced and praised for their great efforts during assembly every Monday. The children’s names are written onto Golden Leaves which are displayed on ‘The Golden Leaf Tree’ beside the office for the entire week. The aim of this initiative is to enhance the pupil’s self-esteem and to recognise the pupil’s value within the school community.
Please note the venue for the Girls Final has been changed to Pairc Ui Chaoimh for the BIG DAY !!!!!!!
For our School Self-Evaluation we have decided to focus on Spelling. Teachers will be focusing on specific spelling rules from the ‘single word spelling test’ and pupils will be given spelling lists appropriate to their level.
