Watch Out!!!

As a result of pupils own concerns around litter , the Eco Committee have formed a band of Litter Busters to patrol school grounds and to make sure everyone plays their part in making sure our school is litter free and we are all playing our part in looking after our environment.   Well done boys and girls.  Watch out the Litter Busters are about!!!

Our Eco Committee learned about climate change during our meeting today and decided on two priorities we as a school community could work on.

Firstly we are going to encourage as many of our friends to save energy on 24th March at 8.30pm for Earth Hour. We are going to ask everyone to turn off their lights at home for 1 hour.  We hope you will support us in this campaign.

Secondly, our pupil feedback showed concern for the amount of litter in the yard so we are going to be on patrol next week during break and lunch to encourage as many people as possible to put their litter in the bin.  We will be wearing our yellow vests so easy to spot.   Together we can all do our bit to save the environment.

What’s Happening in School Next Week?

Week beginning 19th March remains a busy week for the school.  Holy Mass takes place every morning at 8.00am in the Church with breakfast provided for the children in the hall afterwards.  This is provided free by the school.  It has been great to so many of our children make that extra effort to get to Mass.

Many thanks to the PTA for organising the Spring Disco. It was a great success.  A huge thank you is also extended to the parents and staff who came out to help supervise that evening.  As you can see from previous posts the children had a ball.
