Dear parents/ guardians,  

Tomorrow, Friday 25/10, is  One Day Together, Educate Together’s national fundraising and celebration day.   

We will have a Halloween fancy dress day and all students  who wish to participate should bring in 2 euros to give to their tutor for our One Day Together in HCETSS.

One Day Together is where our school communities, start-up groups, past-pupils and families up and down the country hold celebrations and fundraisers on behalf of educational charity Educate Together to ensure that we can continue to open and support our fast-growing network of schools.

Our school is getting involved in the celebrations and we are helping to spread the word about Educate Together’s work and independent NGO and charity. For more information about the work that the Educate Together national office does in opening and supporting equality-based primary and second-level schools, and to find out how to support this important work, please see the information sheet for supporters here. We are also encouraging anyone who wants to donate to Educate Together on our national fundraising day to do so on our official fundraising platform https://www.gofundme.com/f/one-day-together-2024   

 #OneDayTogether is about our network coming together on one day as a community of schools to celebrate what's so unique about Educate Together, our shared values and our democratic and equality-based ethos. It’s a great opportunity for us to come together to support each other, and to celebrate the amazing work Educate Together schools do. 

Kind regards,

School Office
