Killeenduff National School (officially known as St Farnan’s N.S.) is a two teacher school located just outside Easkey village in Co. Sligo. The single storey building is situated across from The Split Rock. Local Legend has it that this rock – though actually carried to its current location by an Ice Age glacier – was split in two as a result of an argument between two giants. It is said that if one walks through the Split Rock three times, it will close, entombing the person for all time.
Within the school building, which was renovated and extended in 2007, are a junior classroom (Junior Infants – 2nd class), a Senior classroom (3rd class to 6th class), a special education room, a music/extra classroom, an office, a kitchen, toilet facilities and a store room.
In April , our 4th and 6th class joined @templeboyns and @stmarysnskilrusheighter to visit @bordiascaighmhara 's outdoor interactive "The ARC" to learn about aquaculture in Ireland.
BIM’s Aquaculture Remote Classroom, or ARC for short, is a schools programme aligned with the Irish primary school curriculum. It is designed to help younger audiences learn about aquaculture using immersive technologies including VR headsets so pupils can plunge to the depths’ of the sea to learn about how salmon, oysters and mussels are farmed in Ireland.
The ARC is jointly funded by the Government of Ireland and the EU under the European Maritime Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund.

The junior room got to visit Dunphy's dairy farm last Friday. It was a fantastic trip. Sincere thanks to Joseph and Helen Dunphy for giving us a tour of your amazing facility. The children loved seeing the milking parlour, visiting the calves and cows and your amazing polytunnel with all the fruit and vegetables you have.
