Well done to all our cross country runners who were at the South Munsters in Cork on 30th January. It was a very difficult course but weather conditions were perfect.
A special congratulations to the senior team Grace Courtney and Marie Courtney Aisling Coffey, and to the junior team (Kathryn Ryan, Hannah Ryan, Evie Fahy and Kate Horgan) who both came 2nd in their distances. '
The next event is the Munsters in Clare castle on February 13th. Well done to all involved.

St. Brigid’s Presentation School Killarney was the place to be for all your Christmas shopping needs in the run up to the holidays. The school held their annual Enterprise Christmas Market where 148 students aged between 13 and 18 formed their own mini companies and set up their stalls from 9am to showcase their products to parents, fellow students and their teachers. The students are encouraged to get creative and design their own products ranging from Christmas baked goods, decorations, fashionwear and even locker shelves. The ever-increasing high standard of products for sale is only just one part of what the Christmas Market promotes. The students gain a very valuable learning experience in what it’s like to run your own business and market your goods to budding customers.

On Friday, May 24th, St, Brigid's held our annual awards day. This is one of the highlights of the school calendar and rewards students who have gone the extra mile in contributing to our school community over the past year. Awards were presented for excellence in sport, leadership, business, home economics, art and design, English, together with general awards for contribution to school spirit and leadership. 

Each year, the school presents a special award to a Leaving Certificate student who has shown exceptional dedication to the school spirit - the Orla Benson award. Orla Benson, a past pupil of St. Brigid's Secondary School, was killed tragically at a young age. In her memory, the Benson family provides a bursary each year for a student who fulfills all of the following criteria:

This year was the fifth year of the CEIST award being presented here at St.Brigid's. A perpetual trophy is awarded after a process of teacher nominations to a 6th year student who best reflects the core values of CEIST, namely promoting spiritual and human development, achieving quality in learning, showing respect for everyone, creating community and being just and responsible. This year, the award was given to Kelly O Halloran, who was highly commended in the teacher nominations for her commitment to the values of CEIST and for her wonderful contribution to the school. She is truly a deserving recipient of this award and we wish her every success in her future career.

Well done to Lynne Fahy, Rebecca Doyle, Nike Rujevan and Sarah McGrath who competed in the IMTA Junior Maths Quiz recently.
