KR3 runs a rich after-school extracurricular program with clubs for students and parents, including a creche for younger children. Clubs cover sporty, creative and learning-enhancement activities, with the list changing each half-term. Due to COVID-19 regulations, clubs are offered to children in the same class and mixing groups is not permitted at the moment. Clubs run after school and help broaden friendships and skills.
The Student Council organises charity events each year for the whole school community, such as Halloween Scary Movie Competition, Christmas Fayre, Valentines Flower Sale and a 15km Sponsored Walk. Each academic year a charity is chosen as the Focus Charity, with all money raised donated at year-end celebrations. The KR3 community has led to annual donations of more than €14,000. In 2020/21 the Focus Charity was AECC – Asociación Española Contra El Cáncer, and in 2021/22 it was Aldeas Infantiles.
