As a school community we are launching the following initiatives to support this nationals campaign:

We want students to design a poster (can be created on iPad or on paper, A4 or A3) on why ‘Every School Day Counts’. There will be a prize (voucher) for each class winner.
Entry closing date: Friday 6th Dec .
Students will get more information about the poster competition in SPHE/ CSPE classes over the next few weeks.20 Day Challenge starting from November 18th to December 13th .
