Our 2nd and 3rd Classes fundraised vital funds for Saint Vincent DePaul by carol singing in Clonakilty town on Friday 15th of December. They raised an impressive €275 for the worthy cause.

Finally, 1st and 4th classess entertained the shoppers down in Astna Square when they were carol singing on Thursday 21st December. They raised €151.20 for their chosen charity.
