Just a reminder that our first Clothing and Electrical collection of the year takes places on Friday 2nd October 2026. Please bring any unwanted, clean clothes and any unwanted electrical items and leave them beside the Williams Wing on\ Friday morning. Place clothing in a different bag to the electrical items. Please see attached leaflets for specific information.
The clothes will be taken by an Irish company called Cash for Clothes and will be paying the school 40 cent a kilo.
Recycle it is community based social enterprise and is based in Clondalkin. They will take the electrical items from the school free of charge.
On Thursday 1st October the school is going to have its annualHalloween Costume Swap. The idea is to reuse costumes that you may have purchased for your child(children) and they have grown out of them or no longer want them. This is a perfect time to get some new costumes for Halloween.
Every day this week, we are asking children to bring in their costumes that they no longer want and bring them to Ms. Larkin's room 6 or to Runaí Aislings office. Please ensure that all costumes are in a wearable and clean condition.
On Thursday morning 1st October, from 8am to 8:45am these costumes will be set up in the school hall. Parents will be invited to come into the school at this time and pick a costume for their child(children). We hope that this will be a successful event.
