• Derek Earley #9 Foundation Present Defibrillator

  Fri 31 Mar 2017

  A huge thank you to the Derek Earley #9 Foundation for presenting the school with a defibrillator.  This lifesaving device will be a massive addition to the school and to the local community.  

   

  Derek Earley was caring, charismatic, talented, thoughtful and funny. He loved life and lived it to the full. Derek should be here with us now but because he is not his friends and family have established this organisation in his honour.

   

  The organisation raises money to improve funding for and awareness of cardiac ailments in the young so that others at risk live long and healthy lives.

• Green School Twinning Project

  Wed 22 Mar 2017

  We are delighted to announce that the school has been selected to take part in a Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE)  project of twinning a limited number of Irish schools with an international partner school. Only ten Irish schools have been chosen for this project. 

   

  We have been twinned with Mapanga Primary School in Tanzania.

   

  Green schools or ECO schools -as they are known outside Ireland- can be found in 64 countries throughout the world.  This is a fantastic opportunity for Irish schools to develop work on sustainability issues and for taking forward their plans on the sustainable development goals.
