Anna Douglas (5th Year) describes the recent visit the LCVP class made to Barretstown as part of their LCVP project.
On Wednesday, 23rd February, as part of the LCVP 5th Year class we were welcomed into Barretstown to view the grounds and find out about all the work they do. We got to see what the money we will be raising will go towards and how many people we will be helping out by making the donation. We were given sponsorship cards, bandanas, brochures and stickers for our school and they will be handed out for the school walk in May. (Click on image to see YouTube video.)
