For our Junior Certificate project we decided to raise money for the D.S.P.CA. We had two guest speakers in from the D.S.P.C.A to talk to 1st, 2nd and 3rd years. They also brought two dogs along with them, and explained what they do on a daily basis for animal welfare.
On Friday the 20th of December we are having an animal dress-up day where you pay 3 euros and come in dress up as your favourite animal. There will also be a tuck shop open in the hall at break the same Friday.
We are also planning to hold a raffle in aid of the D.S.P.C.A sometime in the New Year. We have set a target of 500 euros for our project and would be happy if you could aid our cause.
