Our now annual Spring Clean Day will take place this year on Thursday April 11th.
Last year was a great success in that we collected many bags full of litter. However, we were shocked by just how much we found, that would otherwise still be ruining our beautiful countryside. Hopefully the lasting impact on our pupils will be to ensure they never litter themselves. We would love to see anyone who would like to help out on the day - former pupils, parents, grandparents or other members of the community. Different classes will go at different times and to different areas within the immediate vicinity of the school. We are currently awaiting our Spring Clean packs from An Taisce. A new Board of Management was formed and the following are the officers for the 2023-27 Board term.
Fr. Mark O Farrell, Chairman (Bishops Nominee) Fergus Cooper, Secretary Damain Finn, Treasurer (Parish Nominee) Margaret Power (Parish Nominee) Emma Power (Teacher’s Nominee) Katie Dunphy (Parent’s Nominee) Paul Murphy (Parent’s Nominee) Paul Doyle (Bishops Nominee) - A Sub-Committee will be set up with the purpose of school promotion. Paul Murphy will chair this committee and it will also comprise of a teacher’s representative and one or two parents from the Parent’s Council - Interviews are to be conducted for the BASC Leader’s position. This is the second round of interviews, and it is hoped this time to find a suitable candidate. The job had been advertised for 2 weeks prior to the Board meeting and there have been a number of applications. - The school via the Government Schools Photovoltaic Programme (SPP) have collected 3 quotations for the installation of Solar Panels in the school.
