RED/ FAVOURITE JERSEY DAY
On Friday 17th February, the school will be holding a ‘Red Day’ to celebrate Cork playing Dublin in the Hurling League and Munster playing Ospreys in the Rugby League. The non-uniform days are very popular with the boys. There is always a great ‘buzz’ around the school on the day and we encourage everyone to get involved. Every child is asked to bring in €2 so they can wear red clothing for the day, instead of their usual school uniform. (This does not have to be a sports jersey but can be any item of red clothing, so please do not go and buy special clothes just for this day). All monies raised on the day go directly back into the school and is used to benefit all the boys.
