Dear Parents and Guardians/A Thuismitheoirí agus a Chaomhnóirí,

Climate Change Protest
Well done to all on such a successful protest march. The children got their message across very clearly and were listened to by politicians in attendance, Roisín Shorthall, Noel Rock and Paul McCaulife. It was also lovely to share the experience with neighbouring schools, Scoil Mobhi, St. Michael’s House, St. Columbus GNS, GPETNS and NDNSP.
