Bring and Buy Sale 2008

Our annual bring and buy sale was held on Friday 24th October. It was a day of great fun and was organised by the two 6th classes. In addition to the buying and selling, there was face painting, fortune telling, card tricks, raffles and lots of fun to be had. A total of €950 was raised and all of the money is going to a special school in Peru which is run by the Columban Missionaries.

Banishing Litter

Scoil San Phroinsias are registered with the Green Schools Program, and are currently working on the first theme, which is litter and waste. All the classes from 1st up to 6th will be taking weekly turns to pick up litter around the school grounds. Congratulations to Ms. Groarke's 4th class and Mrs. Brown's 5th class for posting photos of themselves picking up litter. Click on Ms. Groarke's 4th class blog to see the photos. (Reminder: click on the Green School blog to find out when your class will be picking up litter!)
