St Kilian's Community School
College Awareness Week, November 21st-25th 2016
For the attention of Parents and Guardians:
By now, you should all have received a letter regarding College Awareness Week, which will run from 21-25 November 2016. During this week, the school will host a wide range of intereting speakers from colleges and universities, representing a very wide range of possible career paths for your sons and daughters. Many of the guest speakers are past pupils of St Kilian's CS. Parents and Guardians are welcome to attend any of the talks that they feel might be interesting or might benefit their son/daughter.
On Tuesday 22nd at 9.38 am in the Library, there will be a very interesting talk delivered by a parent who has had the experience of putting two children through college. It will give you a valuable insight into the costs and other issues related to college life.
Full details of all the week's activities are below.

This recital, featuring a group of professional singers and musicians, including past-pupil Ross Scanlon, was attended by senior music students from other local schools and was a tremendous success. Everyone was also wowed by an excellent art exhibition, featuring the work of current and past-pupils.
