We recorded our wonderful Senior Choir singing in the church last week. You can see the choir performing two carols in the videos below.
A huge thanks to Mrs. Williams and every one of the children for their hard work and commitment over the last few months.
Take a look at some of the fabulous art completed by the children in St. Brigid’s this Christmas time.
On this wonderful Wednesday, the children and staff are asked to wear something festive, a jumper, a hat, a scarf, a tie or tinsel. We would love a €2 contribution which we will pass to our chosen charity, Focus Ireland.
School closes at 12 noon.
Happy Christmas!

Here are a few pictures from today’s lovely Carol Service. Thank you to allBeautiful the family and friends who came to share this wonderful occasion with our staff and pupils.
We are delighted to have our home-made crib display back this Christmas time, and what a fantastic display it is!
A large crowd gathered in the village yesterday to see the Lord Mayor of Fingal turn on the Village Tree lights. Reminiscent of a scene from Downton Abbey, the onlookers were treated to the wonderful carol singing of both our Senior Choir and the Coolmine Players. Afterwards Reverend McConaghie opened the beautiful St. Brigid’s Church for refreshments.
Congratulations to the Castkeknock Tidy Towns Committee for organising such a lovely community event.
Mrs. Niamh Williams and pupils from the Choir
Our Christmas Fair is this Saturday from 11am to 3pm. Out PTA members and an army of volunteers have worked tirelessly for the last few weeks collecting and sorting stock for the fair. Over the last two days, they have transformed the Sports hall into a Christmas wonderland. There will be something for everyone at the Fair this year so please drop in for a while.
A big shout out to Mr. Ivers, our caretaker for all the extra work he has had to do this week and to the TY students from Castleknock College, Mount Sackville and Edmund Rice and other past pupils who also helped transform the hall.
