Transition Year and Third Year students as part of The Crocus Project, 'an inclusive project of remembrance for young European citizens about the Holocaust' led by Holocaust Education Trust Ireland (HETI), planted yellow crocus bulbs in memory of one and a half million Jewish children who perished in the Holocaust and thousands of other children who were victims of Nazi atrocities.
Crocuses bloom at the end of January or early February, around the time of International Holocaust Memorial Day. This project is part of learning about the Holocaust and issues of racism and discrimination, both past and present, with students engaging as active promoters of more just, fair, inclusive, and sustainable societies.
The HETI Crocus project is for young people over the age of 10 to remember all the children who perished in the Holocaust.

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.
