AINM: Mr Goggin

Is breá liom - obair bhaile agus iomáineacht
Is fuath liom - daoine sainteach agus bréagadóirí

Aois - táim an óg ar fad

Tá eagla orm roimh pucaí agus daltaí

Green School Water Survey:

 

The Green School’s Committee would like to thank the parents of 1^st and 4^th class for completing our household water usage questionnaire. The results are very interesting and we show them below. The Green School’s Committee have completed our submission for a Green Flag on the theme of water and we are expecting a visit shortly from An Taisce. Lets hope they’ll be impressed with our work.
