Dear Student,

Tomorrow, Thursday 30th March is National "Hello How Are You" day. Weather permitting, all 2nd and 3rd year students will participate in a walk and talk event during the day. The purpose of this is to create more genuine connections. Please wear your PE gear in tomorrow to facilitate this.

Dear All

As you know last year, the leadership team had organised an ice bucket challenge to raise money for a girl named Alice who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. Due to the icy weather last year, we were unable to go ahead with the challenge, but now that the winter has passed the leadership team are ready to take on the challenge again. Only this time we have switched up the rules.

We have challenged 7 teachers to do the ice bucket challenge, 6 of which are going to be named and 1 will remain a secret. The 6 named teachers have only agreed to being ice bucketed IF we reached a targeted amount. These are the amounts the teachers have agreed to:

Ms. Norton - €500

Ms. Byrne - €1,000

Ms. Slattery - €1,500

Mr. Coyle - €2,000

Mr. Finn - €2,500

Mr. Murphy - €3,000

The 7th teacher who will remain unnamed will only be disclosed and ice bucketed when we have reached €3,500.

This will take place on the 15th of March at 1:00, so make sure you donate before the buckets arrive. 

Any staff wishing to donate to this can do a direct transfer to the school bank account by EFT or revolut to the following acccount with the refererence ALICE:
