The 5th Year LCVP students organised this year's school walk in aid of Barretstown - A Hole in the Wall camp. Marc Comiskey (5th Year) provides more detail about what happened on 18th May.
The school walk was set up by the 5th Year LCVP class to raise money for Barrettstown, a charity to help terminally ill children. Over €1100 was raised by the school. On Wednesday, 18th May two bus loads left the school at 9am. We set out to walk from Crone Woods to Lough Dan, a distance of about 10km. We were lucky it was only windy and not raining!

The TY Horticulture class were out in the Autumn sunshine planting Spring bulbs using the chaos planting method. This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
