Thank You INTEL
Last year we applied for INTEL's Pride of Place Competition for funding for a community project. We made a joint application with Scoil Bhride for funding to transform a waste area at the back of our schools into a shared garden. We won a prize of 5000 euro which we are most grateful to INTEL for. Many thanks to Pat, Philip and Brian our caretakers who worked on developing the garden during the Summer. Here are the before and after photographs.

Thanks to the Board of Management
who recently funded a Sensory and OT Area in our school. This area is a great facility which is used by our infant classes, our OT groups and by the children in rooms 3 and 4. Many thanks to Pat and Philip, our caretakers who did huge work removing the beds and clearing the area before the company came to install the equipment and lay the soft surface on the ground.
