Irish Therapy Dogs

We are extremely privileged at Killurney NS to be part of the Irish Therapy Dogs programme. This programme was designed with reluctant readers in mind. Children may not like reading aloud in class or to an adult but we have found throughout this programme that they all volunteer to read to Peig, our therapy dog, who visits every Tuesday.

We are extremely grateful to Phil Burke, past teacher of Killurney NS, for introducing this wonderful opportunity to our school. We are not sure who enjoys this weekly experience more - the children or Peig the dog!
