Student Council 2019-20
Oct 1st
A Student Council was recently elected in Kilmacrennan NS and they held their first meeting. They are looking forward to getting involved in an array of school activities over the year. One of their first tasks was introducing themselves at a School Assembly, outlining some of their planned activities. One of the first new initiatives was the introduction of a Spirit of Kilmacrennan NS Weekly Award for the Junior and Senior End of the school (BTW, congrats to Conor, the first recipient of the award!).
