Fund Raising

Student council’s proposals for 2013/14

today, the students set the following targets for the council next year:
to finalise a new meeting room now that the Heavy institute is complete.
to organise fundraisers early in the year.
to collaborate closer with the parents council to gain a higher profile.
to reform the first year lockers.

Non uniform Day

The school hosted a Trocaire non uniform day in aid of the Haiti earthquake disaster. It took place on the 5th of February and the school raised over 2800 euro for the earthquake victims.

A Note from the Parents Council

The Parents’ Council of Coláiste Mhuire would like to express a sincere thank you to all parents who contributed over the year: “We are particularly greatful to those who contributed time to the work of the council. The funds we raised from subscriptions over the year were put to very good use in the school.

Among the many areas we helped out in were the provision of a defibrilator for the school and of some equipment for the music department. We ran a very successful table quiz in the Greville Arms and are hoping to repeat the performance next March.”

Chairperson Sandra Neville tells me that The Parents’ Council meets once a month and all parents are welcome to attend. Come along and support your son and our school.

Helping Trócaire

Congratulations to the students of St. Mary’s 6 and Colman’s 5 who collected funds in their own class towards Trocaire’s Global Gifts campaign.
Ms. Costello says that they have collected enough to buy a house for an underprivileged family in a developing country. Times may be hard but they adopted the real Christmas spirit.
