Dear Parent/Guardian I am sure that you are aware of the rapidly worsening humanitarian situation in Ukraine. Our thoughts and prayers are with the residents of Ukraine as they endure an attack on their country. In an effort to help those in need, we are holding a ‘Blue and/or Yellow’ item of clothing day this Thursday. We are asking students to make a donation on that day and wear clothing of blue and/or yellow colouring if possible. Donations can be given directly to their tutor or via the school app - minimum donation on the App is €5 . All funds raised will be given directly to the Red Cross, Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Stephen O'Brien
