NEWS / 7 January 2026

Transition Year History students planted yellow crocuses in the flowerbeds of the school in memory of one and a half million Jewish children who were murdered in the Holocaust and thousands of other children who were victims of the Nazis. 

The project is a commemoration to all children lost in conflicts, past and present. The crocuses usually bloom at the end of January or the beginning of February, around the time of International Holocaust Memorial Day (27 January). See www.holocausteducationireland.org
