P7 Transition Project

refugee camp 3

All six primary schools from our cluster marked International Refugee Day on Monday 22 June here in Our Lady’s High School.

The Transition Project involved all six schools working with the Red Cross and building and presenting their own unique camp for refugees. Two of the camps are pictured here.

Pupils were also given the opportunity to participate in a First Aid course as part of the morning. The morning was rounded off by visiting the Red Cross Emergency Response vehicle. (pictured below)
