Farewell Mrs Rouggos

An Old Irish Blessing

May the road rise up to meet you.

May the wind always be at your back

May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields.

Thank you and God Bless

From the Middle Years Coordinator

During this term many of our students have been involved in Transition Visits to our partner Primary Schools. You may remember your daughter receiving a visit from a Kildare staff member and two students when she was in primary school. The purpose of these visits is for students currently in Year 6 and Year 7 to meet some of our wonderful Kildare College ambassadors.

Student Safety

The safety of your daughter is our highest priority. Before and after school drop offs are a busy time on the roads with many students walking, riding and using public transport to get to school.

We have recently been advised that fines have been given to motorists stopping in the bus zone on Mercedes Drive. Please refrain from using this as a drop off and pick up area.
