School Support Structures for Students
CBS Kilkenny is an innovative school drawing on the talents and skills of staff, students and parents to provide excellent educational programmes and and extra-curricular projects and activities. Full participation is encouraged in the extensive range of extra-curricular activities on offer and care is also taken to ensure the well-being and happiness of each and every student in the school.
Each class group has a Class Tutor who supports his/her class and is someone students can go to if they have concerns. A Class Tutor is attentive to the pastoral needs and general well-being of the students in their group.
Each year group has a Year Head who monitors the progress and behaviour of students in their year groups. They deal with any discipline problems and meet their students to discuss any issues and general academic progress.
Our Student Council allows students to become actively involved within the school community and develops a sense of belonging and of responsibility.
An induction programme aimed at facilitating the transition of students from primary to secondary school is another key feature of our student care structures. Cairdeas, a group of 5th and 6th year students are charged with the task of looking after incoming first year, showing them around, organising lunchtime activities to encourage new friendships. This support continues throughout first year and plays a very important role in the smooth transition from primary to secondary school for our younger students.
