St. Kilian’s is very keen to help the refugee crisis in Ukraine and is asking parents, students and staff to contribute whatever they can to the effort. Goods may be dropped off at the school – you will find large containers on the terrace leading to the main school doors for Primary School and in front of the Gym Hall for Secondary School. We are collecting the following items which will then be forwarded to the Ukraine border. The first batch of contributions will be collected on Friday, March 4th, 2022. Thank you!
