13 replies were received from parents/families at our school. The preferences of the parents who replied were as follows:
- 100% (13 parents) preferred a co-educational provision with boys and girls educated together, while 0% (0 parents) preferred single-sex education.
- 92% (12 parents) preferred English as the language of instruction, while 8% (1 parent) preferred Irish.

Our Green Schools Committee decided to mark the day by holding a “Walk for Water” to raise awareness for the 2 billion people who live without access to safe water. Together we completed a 6 km relay walk around the school grounds, this is the average distance women and children have to walk for water. The Green Schools Committee filled containers from the water butt in the school garden. We each carried these water filled containers along the route around the school. After the walk we held an online “Marine Environment” themed Kahoot Quiz. Well done to 5th Class who won the quiz and “Golden Time” for their room.
