We launched our Trócaire Campaign at the beginning of Lent with our Copper Coin Challenge.  Throughout Lent all classes were collecting 1p and 2p coins.  We have been amazed at the response with a fantastic £709 being raised in coppers in only five weeks.  Congratulations to all the classes on such a sterling effort.  A special congratulations to Mrs. Loughran's Year 4 class who were the highest collectors in the school with a total of £80.22 and will be awarded with a class party supplied by Mr. Traynor.

During Holy Week our charity campaign continued.  There were lots of activities organised to include Colouring Competitions, Bring a Toy Day, Nursery Easter Bonnet Parade  and Name the Duck - this year it was called 'Lucky' and was won by Caleb Fawcett.  Our Year 7 pupils were amazing and organised a host of stalls making, decorating and selling a variety of products.  They were just amazing - fabulous creativity and entrepreneurial skills on display.  Total raised so far, a fabulous £723!

We look forward to announcing our final total when we return to school after the Easter Break.  Well done to all and thank you for your continued generosity and support.
