Educational trips
Trips to exhibitions, shows, lectures, factories, careers exhibitions etc. are arranged for pupils taking subjects such as Geography, Science, Art, Physical Education, English, History and Agricultural Science.
School Tours
Visits usually take place during the school holidays to Northern Ireland, England and the Continent.
Team sports
Players and supporters enjoy matches played ‘home and away’. There are regular rugby and hockey competitions during the season against local schools, Dublin schools and further afield, including trips to Ulster, Munster and occasionally to England and the Continent. The senior rugby team has travelled to Canada and France.
Cultural Excursions
These also take place to various locations, more recently to mainland Europe through our involvement in European Studies and the Comenius Project.
Language Exchanges
Language exchange programmes to France and Germany have been operating for several years.
Debating and Public Speaking
Both Debating and Public Speaking enjoy high profiles in Kilkenny College. The junior and senior clubs thrive and pupils who participate are equipped with invaluable lifelong skills. We enter many International, National and Regional competitions.
Chess and Draughts
Chess and Draughts Clubs are active with pupils taking part in competitions, both inside and outside the College.
An Gaisce
Participation in the President’s Awards – Gold, Silver and Bronze – takes place each season. Some continue their involvement into Third Level.
Caving
This activity teaches pupils how to participate in an adventure activity in a safe and controlled way.
Worldwide
International adventure has brought pupils as far away as Vietnam and to Kenya. Training commences with regular hill walking in the uplands of the South East. Pupils train and prepare for two years, learning how to fund-raise for themselves and be fully fit for the rigours of trekking in difficult terrain and climate.
Community Work
Within Kilkenny, the College plays its part in raising money for charity, e.g. Bake sales, clothes and mobile phone collections to name but a few. There is also an Annual Musical Evening held every May and Carol singing at Christmas time to raise funds for local charities.
Publications
‘The Swift Review’ is a news magazine with articles and news written by volunteering pupils. It gives a flavour of life in the college and beyond.

Rugby
Four rugby pitches accommodate over a dozen teams of boys playing the game. Teams take part in the premier sections of the Leinster Senior and Junior Cup and League Competitions enjoying considerable success. Boys have attained representative honours for Leinster and Ireland.

Hockey
Boys and girls play on two synthetic pitches and two shale pitches. Girls play within the South-East area while boys play in the Leinster competitions and have been very successful in recent years. Players, both girls and boys, have won interprovincial and international honours at under-16 and under-18 level.
Athletics
This sport is undertaken largely on an individual basis but junior and senior teams take part in various competitions particularly in the summer term. Our pupils have attained international recognition in recent years.
Golf
We have many pupils who enjoy golf and some who represent the college with distinction in various local, provincial and inter school competitions. Some pupils take part in the Past Pupils’ Annual Golf Outing.
Tae Kwon Do
Tae Kwon Do is on every Friday in the Macadoo from 3.50-4.50. We have 2 black belts in 1st yr - Ashton Botha and Lydia Berry. They are pictured with Aoife Botha, past pupil and Master Michael Botha, instructor.
Other Sports
Outdoor sports include tennis, cricket, soccer and cross-country running. The large Sports Hall is the venue for various indoor activities including physical education classes, indoor hockey, indoor soccer, basketball, weight training and table tennis.
Swimming
Every first year pupil is taught swimming with organised lessons every week. The more competent swimmers can learn lifesaving and seniors can train to become Assistant Swimming Teachers.
Badminton
Boys and girls receive coaching in the sport in our P.E. Hall. There is much interest and pupils recently won a national championship.
Equestrian
Our Equestrian Club was founded in 1993 and is still going strong, due the support, advice and enthusiasm of many of our students and their parents. Our club is best described by some of our members, both past and present.
“I enjoyed jumping for the College, because I was proud to represent it and be part of a good team spirit.”
Dean Wilson, showjumper and breeder, based in the UK.
“lt was a great experience competing on the school teams, the team spirit helped me learn to deal with the pressure of competing as a team.”
Richie Moloney, Showjumper, based in the USA.
“There was always great camaradrie amongst our teams and I was thrilled to be going to a school with a renowned equestrian background.”
Elizabeth Sterling, eventer and post-graduate university student in UCD.
