On Thursday the 26th of January three of our 4th year classes went down town to help our community by picking up litter behind the Eldon and in other areas of the town .
Our students believe that it is important to give back to the community and they also want to help Skibbereen tidy towns achieve their goals and make the town a better place for everyone.
The students managed to collect several bags of litter and will hope to continue this good work in the future
4th year students Bláthín Barry, Stephen Kingston, Christina Hurley, Sophia Kate leahy, Daniel Hurley, Ryan Scully and Chloe McCarthy went to Baltimore road nursing home recently to play Bingo with the residents.
