This is a message from the Student Council –
International Women’s Day is on Friday March 8th. The theme this year is ‘Inspire Inclusivity. To inspire inclusion, is to celebrate diversity and beyond.’ This is an own clothes fundraising day in our school. This year, the Student Council has chosen Edel House in Cork to fundraise for. Edel House provides emergency accommodation for women and children who are homeless. We ask each student and staff member in our school, to contribute €2 to this fundraising event on the way into school on the morning of March 8th.
We also ask everyone in our school community to wear the colour purple on this day. Purple is the chosen colour for this international day of celebration and represents justice and dignity. Please make a special effort to wear this colour with pride on March the 8th.
The Student Council have lots of activities for you to participate in to mark IWD, including is a special speaker event for the whole school on March 8th also.
Thank you. And we look forward to celebrating with you!
