Welcome to Keeping up with Killina
Killina’s first online School Magazine
Message from the Editors
Hello Readers,
Welcome to Keeping up with Killina, our first online school magazine. We are the Editorial Committee, consisting of 5th year students. By organising this magazine, we are hoping to congratulate student’s achievements and getting the voices of Killina’s students heard.
This magazine helps us to keep connected with, not only our local community but also others across the world.
We created this magazine to get our school and it’s students the recognition we deserve. From All Ireland Titles to Musical achievements. We wanted them all to be acknowledged.
We want to say a special thank you to Mr. Carton, who made this magazine a reality.
We hope you enjoy reading,
The Editorial Committee.
