Welcome to all our new teachers and students, who started a voyage of discovery last September. The first term has really flown by and I hope that all have settled in well.
During our MLL, twelve months ago, the Inspectors referred to the fantastic spirit and atmosphere that they witnessed in Knockbeg College. This wonderful attitude to school life is noticeable this year again, which is great to witness. Thanks to all students for the great way they behave and have welcomed so many new staff this year.
It is fantastic to see such a wide range of extra-curricular activities taking place: both educational and sporting. Well done to all who take part in so many events and thank you to all our teachers who are so supportive of all that goes on here in the school. Well done to our cross country teams and coaches who have already won trophies and hopefully there will be other successes during the coming weeks.
Thankfully our Building Project is moving forward and the tender documents were sent recently to the ten chosen companies. All tenders are due back to the design team early in January of 2017. Subject to Department of Education approval we will then be ready to appoint a contractor and start.
Finally I would like to wish everybody a very happy and peaceful Christmas and a joyous New Year.
