The students also were given a valuable insight into facing the leaving cert in a presentation from past pupil Anita Watkins, who achieved excellently in this year's leaving cert, and also Katie Meleady, who spoke to the students about decision-making after results day and the factors that she considered before deciding to repeat the leaving cert. Well done to Anita and Katie, and all the students and teachers who participated in an enjoyable and informative day.Mon, 02 Sep 2019 00:00:00 +0100Best of luck to our Leaving Certs!!https://killinaschool.ie/news/best-of-luck-to-our-leaving-certsId:397Tue, 13 Aug 2019 00:00:00 +0100Book Grant for Application 2019/20https://killinaschool.ie/news/book-grant-for-application-2019-20Id:477Dear Parents/Guardians, Please see attached documentation regarding the Book Grant for 2019/2020.

CAO communications officer, Eileen Keleghan, asks applicants not to make changes to an application based on assumptions about their Leaving Certificate examination performance. "Every year we experience a surge in last minute amendments to CAO applications. This is due to a number of factors, for example more time spent researching courses and the introduction of new areas of interest. "In 2015, fifty-six per cent of applicants availed of the Change of Mind facility at least once. "What we would like to advise applicants to avoid doing is making changes to their order of preference or course choices based on how they feel they have performed in their examinations. "If applicants simply follow the golden rule of placing all of their courses in their genuine order of preference they will be offered the course highest up on their preference list that they are deemed eligible for, if any" she added. Other advice for applicants from CAO is as follows: 1. Make sure to carefully check your application well in advance of the Change of Mind closing date to ensure that all of the course codes are correct and listed in order of preference. 2. When entering new courses or editing existing course choices, applicants must list all courses on the new choices list. 3. After making changes online, applicants will receive an email. Applicants are advised to check this email carefully to ensure that all of their information has been recorded completely and correctly. 4. Carefully read any correspondence from CAO, including the 'Statement of Course Choices' which is sent by post to all applicants who make changes to courses using the Change of Mind facility. Applicants will also receive an email showing these changes. A video guide explaining the CAO Change of Mind process can be viewed here: https://vimeo.com/86519317 The provisional date for Round 1 CAO Offers is August 22. Applicants will be notified by post and email if they have received an offer and will have until 5:15 pm on August 29 to register an acceptance. Applicants who do not receive an offer in Round 1 will receive a Statement of Application Record which they must carefully check and notify CAO of any errors or omissions. Round 2 offers will be available online from 6 am on September 1. -Ends- Eileen Keleghan Communications Officer Central Applications Office, Tower House, Eglinton St., Galway. http://www.cao.ie/ _________________________________________ PH: 353 091 509800 FAX: 353 091 562344Tue, 28 Jun 2016 00:00:00 +0100SUSI urges students to submit their student grant applications before the July 8th deadlinehttps://killinaschool.ie/news/susi-urges-students-to-submit-their-student-grant-applications-beforeId:198DATE: 27 June, 2016. SUSI urges students to submit their student grant applications before the July 8th deadline The national student grant awarding body, SUSI (Student Universal Support Ireland), is urging students who have yet to submit their applications for student grant funding for the 2016/17 academic year to do so now. The deadline for applications is Friday, July 8th. SUSI is currently in its fifth year of operations and opened its 2016/17 online application system, for new and renewal student grants, on April 5th. This was almost three weeks earlier than in 2015/16, and to-date SUSI has received 70,000 applications. Graham Doyle, Head of Communications & Customer Service with SUSI, has the following message for students: "We are expecting to receive approximately 110,000 applications for the 2016/17 academic year. We have received 70,000 applications to-date and we would urge students to apply before the deadline of July 8th to ensure that their applications receive priority". The national awarding authority has already awarded grants to 37,000 students for 2016/17, including almost 8,000 new students, the first time that such applications have been awarded so early. Mr. Doyle added: "We have changed our process this year and are awarding new applicants earlier than ever before. In previous years, Leaving Certificate students had to wait until they received their Leaving Certificate results and CAO offers late in August before we could award them. However, this year, based on learning from previous years, we are awarding students to the courses that they have identified in their applications to us, as soon as possible. We have already awarded almost 8,000 such students which is great news. I would encourage students who are thinking of applying for a student grant to visit our website www.susi.ie where they can review information about the eligibility criteria for student grant funding. In particular, they should use our online 'grant eligibility reckoner' where they can quickly, and easily, self-assess whether they may/may not be entitled to a student grant." Students are also encouraged to use their own SUSI 'online application trackers', where they can track the progress of their applications and confirm that documentation has been received without having to contact SUSI directly.

Mr. Feery is a retired Human Resources Manager from Solas. He mainly spoke to the class about work experience. He gave tips on all the do's and don’ts in the workplace. He also spoke about self-confidence. He emphasised how important it is for us as young people to have the ability to believe and have trust in our talents. Mr. Feery expanded our knowledge about the way one's employer thinks and the workplace in general. He also gave us a truly inspirational self-esteem speech.
