«I’ve been working at Kilkenny since September and it is just great. There is a relaxed atmosphere in the school but we all take our jobs seriously and try to help each other whenever we can. It is nice to know that you have the support of other members of staff (not only other teachers, but also the director or the people at reception). Whenever I have a question about something, there is always someone to help!
Also, the school is provided with lots of games and different resources to use in class, which makes it even more attractive for students. It is satisfying to see the students having fun! I’m really enjoying my time here and, to be honest, I have learnt a lot too!»
