The Winter Raffle raised €2260.10 for the school. Thanks to all parents, guardians, staff and friends of the school who worked so hard to make this a success. Once again, the Parent Association is delighted with the very high level of parent involvement in this event. Well done everyone! This money will go directly to improve the condition of the school yard to the benefit of all our children.
