Some members of the local farming community have generously agreed to rear calves on behalf of the school. If any other farmers have an interest in rearing a calf for the school, please contact us on one of the numbers below. Alternatively, you might like to donate some money directly to the school towards the purchase of a calf. For every €250 we raise we can buy a calf. If you know of any past pupils who are overseas or are living outside the parish who might like to support this venture, please let them know about it or give their contact details to a member of the Board of Management or Parent Association. Your support would be greatly appreciated. Contact numbers: 648321 (School), 648097 & 087 9904554 (Ger Doyle)
