School History |

On January 24th 1897 the Sisters
of the Holy Faith came to Kilcoole. They immediately made plans to
build a primary school, which was completed in 1900. The
people here and throughout Ireland were still suffering severely in the
aftermath of the great famine, but the torch of learning caught fire and
is still burning brightly. As the area grew in population
extra classrooms were needed to meet the demands of increasing
numbers. So, the first wing of our present building was opened and
blessed in 1973. The following year one extra room was added and in
the late 1970's the remaining four 'new' classrooms were added. |
This is a view of our school today.
