The school choir of St Brigid’s Presentation Secondary School recently had the honour of recording with David Sheehan for a special Radio Kerry Christmas broadcast, which will air on Christmas morning.

The feature also includes contributions from Scartaglen National School.


The programme offers a mix of interviews with students, their reflections on the meaning of Christmas, festive music performed by the St Brigid’s choir, Christmas poetry, and a strong focus on the school’s CEIST values.

As part of this, students spoke about their TY-led Christmas Hamper initiative, an annual act of compassion that supports families within their own school community with care and kindness during the Christmas season.


St Brigid’s extended their sincere thanks to Ms Healy and Ms McCann, the dedicated coordinators of the school choir, and to Ms Finnerty, the school’s ethos coordinator, for their work and preparation in bringing this special opportunity to life. Tune in on Christmas morning!
