The annual L.C.V.P. Table Quiz held on the last day of the winter term had an animal dress-up dimension added to it by the enterprising 3rd Year CSPE students. Approximately €500 was raised for Barretstown and the DSPCA. Well done to Table 5 who won the quiz!
The 5th year L.C.V.P. Table Quiz in aid of Barretstown Childrens’ Care Centre took place on Friday, 20th of December. The 13 teams were made up of a mix of students and teachers and the quiz was fiercely contested. A raffle was also held to raise as much money as possible and we had a fantastic hamper kindly donated by Ms Colette Malone from Avoca. Team 5 (Ms. Gordon, Ms. Kenny, Andrew Enright, Rory O’ Neill, Kara Stein, Kate Dempsey, Chad Greenblatt, Gina Cohen and Bogdan Dumitru) were the eventual winners of the quiz with 48 points. Ryo Ito was the lucky winner of the hamper from Avoca. Thanks to all staff and students for their support and for helping us raise over €240 for Barretstown Childrens’ Care Centre. There are lots more photos from the Table Quiz in the 2013-2014 Gallery. (Click on blog title to see more photos.)

It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
