On Monday, 25th February the school was alive with favourite characters from books all in aid of charity (Crohn's Disease) and organised by the Student Council. Michael Lawlor Rojas explains further.
On Monday, 25th of February, Stratford College celebrated the Jewish festival of Purim by dressing up as characters from books in aid of a charity. Everyone from 1st Years to the teachers took part in the event, and all had a light-hearted and enjoyable day. There were too many great costumes to distinguish any one person as a winner, but every member of the Student Council felt the 5th Years put the most effort into their costumes, and so they were awarded a box of Roses as a prize. Look at the 2012-2013 Gallery to see some of the characters! (Click on blog title to see more photos.)
The day was a great success, with over €100 were raised in aid of Crohn’s Disease.

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.
