Mr Lawless and Ms Byrne, Deputy Principals, with students and staff
Congratulations are extended to three very talented Killina Secondary School students on achieving 1st, 3rd and 4th place out of the 22,230 students that completed the Junior Cycle Materials Technology Wood exam in 2024.
School Principal Mr John Cotter received the wonderful news last week from the State Examinations Commission. He acknowledged the hard work and commitment of the three students and praised the dedicated staff.
Aoife Murphy was 1st place. Her teacher Mr Patrick Concannon praised her unique talent and attention to detail in all aspects of the curriculum. Aoife’s project displayed creativity and exceptional technical skill. Her talent was noted at an early stage when she won woodworker of the year in her first year in Killina in 2021. Aoife is now a 5th year student, and continues to study Construction Studies with passion and enthusiasm. She has expressed a strong interest in pursuing a career as a Wood Technology Teacher.
Fionn Corcoran placed 3rd and John Buggy placed 4th. Their teacher Mr Eoin Carton complemented and praised the boys on unfailing hard work, and precision in their pursuit of excellence.
