The King’s Hospital School community has once again demonstrated its commitment to helping others, raising over €15,000 for charitable causes during the 2025/26 academic year.
Funds were raised through a variety of student-led and school-wide initiatives, including non-uniform days, bake sales and other fundraising events held throughout the year. The generosity and enthusiasm shown by students, staff and families have enabled the school to make a meaningful contribution to a number of important causes.
Among the charities supported this year were the Gaza Education Fund, which provides educational opportunities for young people affected by conflict, and the School for Deaf & Blind in Jordan, which supports students with additional educational and sensory needs.
These fundraising efforts reflect the strong spirit of service, compassion and social responsibility that is at the heart of The King’s Hospital School. Through their participation, students have not only raised vital funds but have also developed a greater understanding of the importance of supporting communities both locally and globally.
Looking ahead to the 2026/27 academic year, the Charities Committee has already scheduled five non-uniform days, which will continue to play an important role in supporting charitable initiatives:
- 23 October 2026
- 20 November 2026
- 11 December 2026 – Christmas Jumper Day
- 12 March 2027
- 30 April 2027 – Blue Coat Day
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this year’s fundraising efforts. The continued support of the King’s Hospital community enables us to make a positive difference in the lives of others and reinforces the school’s longstanding commitment to service and giving back.
The King’s Hospital School was proud to see a group of Transition Year students take part in a recent fundraising initiative in support of Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The students organised and participated in a fundraising effort aimed at supporting the charity’s work in granting life-changing wishes to children living with critical illnesses. Their initiative demonstrated a strong sense of compassion, teamwork, and commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of others.
Throughout the day, students engaged enthusiastically with the wider community, raising both awareness and funds for an important cause. In total, an impressive €3,407 was raised, reflecting both the generosity of supporters and the impact of the students’ dedication.
The school commends all students involved for their hard work and initiative, and extends its sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the fundraiser.
Transition Year students at The King’s Hospital School took part in the Ian Daly Swim a Mile charity swim, raising funds for Barretstown and Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) Crumlin.
A fantastic total of 78 students and staff completed the challenge across Tuesday and Thursday, taking part either individually or as part of relay teams. The event once again highlighted the generosity, teamwork and community spirit within KH.
Ian’s father, Brian Daly, was poolside throughout the event to support and encourage swimmers, making the occasion even more special for everyone involved.
Thanks to the incredible efforts of the students, staff and wider school community, a total of €2,788 was raised — more than double the amount raised the previous year. Brian expressed his delight and appreciation for the support shown by the KH community and later returned at the TY Graduation Ceremony to present a cheque recognising the final fundraising total.
Congratulations and well done to everyone who took part and supported this fantastic cause.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported our recent Staff Coffee Morning in aid of the Irish Cancer Society.
Thanks to the generosity of staff and supporters, an impressive €910.50 was raised through the event. We are delighted that the School kindly rounded this figure up to €1,000, bringing the final donation to a wonderful milestone amount.
The success of the coffee morning reflects the strong sense of community and generosity within The King’s Hospital School. Every contribution, no matter the size, helped make a meaningful difference in supporting the vital work of the Irish Cancer Society.
Thank you once again to everyone who donated, attended and helped make the event such a success.
Students in Ms Ryan’s Form 2 CSPE class at The King’s Hospital School recently organised a successful bake sale in support of My Lovely Horse Rescue, raising a total of €160 for the charity.
As part of the initiative, members of the organisation visited the school, bringing along some of their rescue dogs, including a lively Chihuahua and four elegant Lurchers. The visit provided students with a valuable opportunity to learn more about animal welfare, rescue work and the importance of responsible pet ownership.
The bake sale not only showcased the students’ organisational skills and teamwork but also highlighted their commitment to making a positive impact in the community. The funds raised will go directly towards supporting the ongoing care and rescue efforts of My Lovely Horse Rescue. Well done to all involved in a meaningful and engaging initiative.
