  1. HOLY CHILD SCHOOL REVIEW OF YEAR KPA Meeting 25th September 2013

  2. Mission Statement Holy Child School, Killiney (HCK) is a Catholic girls’ school in the network of schools of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, founded by Cornelia Connelly (1809 – 1879). It is committed to her educational philosophy: “to academic challenge and the joy of learning”. Our mission is to nurture the intellectual, spiritual, artistic, social and physical development of each student in an atmosphere of openness and trust. We encourage our students to emerge as mature young women who are strong in faith and who are confident and caring and capable of making decisions that enrich their own lives and contribute to the lives of others. “Be yourself but let that self be all that God wants it to be”
