WOW Day

On Wednesday the 23rd February Killeeneen National held it's first 'Walk On Wednesday'. This involved the pupils, staff and parents creating a 'Walking Bus' from two designated points a short distance from the school.  All pupils were dropped off at these locations and then walked the remaining distance to school.  The 'Walking Bus' is a healthy, fun, safe and environmentally friendly way of travelling to school.  The idea is that children walk together as a group along a set route and there is a ‘driver’ at the front of the bus and a ‘conductor’ at the rear.

Please see our 'Green Schools' page for more pictures of the event.

Travel Audit

On Thursday the 27th January we carried out a 'Travel Audit' outside our school.
