Active School Week
During our Active School Week we welcomed many visitors to our school.
We were delighted to have Séan from Cork Sports Partnership, The Irish Coast Guard, Midelon/Cork Hurler Conor Lehan and Michael with Irish Dancing.
We also presented Fiona O'Carroll and Willie o'Donoghue from Friends of Kieran with a cheque for €1,666. We raised this by completing our Water Action Day Walk. Well done to the children and their families for raising money for Kieran and his family.
