Christmas Fair 2009

Despite the poor weather, there was a huge turnout at the Christmas Fair 2009. The Parents Assocation are delighted to announce that we were able to give €16500 to each school from the proceeds from the Fair.  This is a remarkable achievement in the current economic climate. 

Huge thanks and congratulations to Yseult, Joanna, Claire and Debbie on a job well done in difficult circumstances.

Here are some pictures from the day.  Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Girls School hall was full to capacity for the launch of our "Class Cuisine" cook book by RTE's Miriam O'Callaghan.  Pupils, parents and grandparents were present for this most anticipated launch.

If you were unable to attend the launch, you can view a video of Miriam's speech.

The launch was also covered by the Irish Independent.

• Trentuno, Cabinteely
• Hilton Pharmacy, Cornelscourt
• Spar at The Park
• Lazy Days Coffee Shop , 11 Sydney Terrace , Blackrock
• Lilliput Creche
