Kilbarry National School

About

Kilbarry National School is a vibrant primary‑level institution that delivers the Irish national curriculum through a blend of classroom learning and experiential activities. The school places a strong emphasis on community‑based projects, such as the development of a well‑maintained school garden where children engage in outdoor learning and environmental stewardship. Sporting facilities are also highlighted, with pupils taking part in football blitzes at Tom Creedon Park and various hurling and futsal events, fostering teamwork and physical fitness. Beyond the core curriculum, the school celebrates cultural and charitable initiatives. Annual events include St Brigid’s Day crafts, Halloween celebrations, and themed parties that integrate subjects across the curriculum, such as the “Tiger” party linked to a story‑based programme. The school actively participates in charitable drives like the Team Hope Shoebox Appeal, encouraging pupils and families to contribute to humanitarian causes. These activities reflect a holistic educational approach that values academic achievement, personal development, and community involvement.
