Fundraising

A very successful Car Boot Sale Fundraiser!!

Our Car Boot Sale fundraiser was held on Sat 11th June. As always our fantastic school community got behind us and there were huge amounts of items donated which were used to sell at the sale. We had a bake sale on the day and there were lots of yummy treats to purchase. Our parent reps also did a kids prizes table where the children could play and win.

There was a huge amount of support from our parents who attended on the day and also the local community.

The fundraiser was a great success and we raised much needed funds for the school. The final figure will follow after all raffle cards are returned.

Raffle cards for our upcoming fundraiser raffle were all due back on Thurs 16th June and our raffle will be held at the school on Monday 20th June.

A massive thank you to our parent reps (Kim, Cleo, Audrey and Cheryl) who organized the fundraiser and were there on Saturday ensuring that the day was a successful one. There was a lot of work involved in the run up to it, in organising and sorting the items, visiting businesses and using their charm to get some fantastic prizes and donations, and in getting all the items to Jack Whites on the day. We realise the time that was sacrificed for all of this, both during the week and at the weekend, and we really appreciate it. Parents giving their time and energy like this, shows what fantastic community spirit there is in the school and we would not be able to ensure the school keeps thriving and the pupils have all of the lovely resources and amenities they need without it.

Thank you to all the parents who have donated items for the sale, given in a raffle prize or baked for the cake sale.

Well done to everyone involved!!

Sponsored Cycle - Thurs 24th Oct 2019

We had our first sponsored cycle on Thursday 24th Oct 2019. The skies were clear and the sun was shining to ensure that a great days cycling was had by all. Lots of brilliant parents came to help out on the day some cycled with the children, some parents, including our Parents Rep drove in front and behind to make sure the pupils and parents were safe, others helped the younger pupils navigate their way around Cullen Park and to and from the school, and other Parents Reps organised the very welcome refreshments at the end of the cycle. The boys and girls had a fantastic day both on the 7k route and in Cullen Pk and they were very proud of their achievement. It is a testament to the effort they have put in during the Cycle Right Programme and shows that we truly are and active school!! Thanks to all that sponsored the pupils and helped out on the day. Thanks to Claire Jenkinson who organised the Wicklow People to come and photograph the day and also sent in photos to the Wicklow Times. An amazing grand total of 1505.55 euro was raised in total. Well done all!!!
