St. Multose School Extension opened (Cork, Cloyne & Ross)
St. Multose National School St. Multose National School Kinsale, County Cork, founded in 1895, has recently opened an important extension. Principal Fiona Giles said “..we are proud to be able to continue our planting and harvesting. In many ways this reflects the life of the school – planting seeds of knowledge and providing valuable nutrients in the form of exploration and discovery before the, we hope, well-rounded pupils are sent off to become useful citizens of the wider community.”
St. Multose National School Pupils
In 2007, the school reached the enrolment number to employ a third teacher, so the Board of Management explored St. Multose National School all the options available to provide accommodation for the third classroom. Building a permanent structure was the favoured option and the results speak for themselves. The older children had hitherto patiently been forced to put up with spending a year being taught in the confines of the school library. Indeed, the Learning Support and Resource teachers had to fight for unoccupied corners of the building to work in and had to resort to teaching in a wholly unsuitable press, surrounded by various stored items of equipment. They now have their own fine classroom.
St. Multose National School In her address Principal Fiona thanked all the members of staff for their tireless work and particularly thanked John Stanley, chairman of the Board of Management who she said is 'like the glue that holds the whole thing together.'
In place of the traditional ribbon cutting at official openings the Board of Management decided that a tree planting ceremony would be more in keeping. Fortunately the weather stayed fine and Bishop Colton wielded the spade in a most professional manner.
