Kilmoganny Mixed National School

About

St. Eoghans National School, Kilmoganny, is a mixed primary school that provides a vibrant, community‑focused education for children from junior infants to sixth class. The school places a strong emphasis on holistic development, encouraging pupils to engage in a wide range of extracurricular activities that complement the curriculum. Regular programmes such as Zumba dance lessons, swimming sessions at the Seán Kelly Sports Centre, and hurling coaching promote physical wellbeing, while initiatives like Creative Schools, Science Week and World Book Day foster creativity, scientific curiosity and a love of literature. Environmental awareness and sustainable travel are integral to the school’s ethos. As part of the Green Schools programme, pupils take part in the Big Travel Challenge, using walking buses, cycling and the Park‑and‑Stride scheme to reduce car use and promote healthy habits. The school also celebrates Irish language and culture through Seachtain na Gaeilge and the making of Saint Brigid’s crosses, reinforcing a sense of heritage and community spirit. Partnerships with local organisations, such as St. Joseph’s Home and the local credit union, provide valuable real‑world learning experiences and encourage charitable involvement.
