Following on from the success of our Halloween Costume Swap, our uniform swap and our Holy Communion Dress Donations, our Green School Committee have organised a Christmas Jumper Swap
Did you know that 1 in 4 Christmas Jumpers end up in landfills? Fast Fashion creates a huge carbon footprint. Bunscoil na Toirbhirte is committed to tackling climate action in our own little way! Please bring your clean and unwanted Christmas jumpers or tops to reception from tomorrow, Monday, the 18th of November. We will host the swap day in the coming weeks. Our Green School Committee will be in touch in the near future with a date for the swap.

Congratulations to our fantastic football team on their historic achievement- winning our first ever Sciath Na Scol Final in Mallow recently. The 13 a side saw Bunnscoil play St Anne's, Charleville in a very competitive game with wonderful skills on display. A huge well done to Ms. O’Brien for leading the girls to success, and a special shout-out to the girls who gave their all today. We cannot forget their dedicated supporters who cheered our team from start to finish,their respect for the opposition was very evident, we were very proud of all our girls.
