This will take place on Tuesday 21^st February 2012. This is an ideal opportunity for you to have that ‘Spring Clean’ that you’ve been putting off and help the school to have enough money to purchase this vital piece of equipment ! Clothes should be placed in bags. PLEASE DO NOT bring clothing in on any other day as there is no facility for their collection at any other time. As they are sorted by weight, the more clothes we get the more money we raise, so please try your best to help us out. The clothes will be collected in the Junior Yard on Tuesday 21^st February from 8.15 a.m. – 9.30 a.m. only. *Well done to Robin Lee in 3^rd class who has made the final 75 of the Doodle for Google Art Competition. His entry can be viewed on the Google website and as the winner will be decided by public vote, everyone is asked to visit the website and “Vote for Robin!” *Please note that school begins at 8:50am and finishes each day at 2:30pm. The BOM of St Declans does not take responsibility for children outside these official opening and closing times. *The St Declans NS Counselling/Support Service for Parents and Guardians will operate again this year. This service is an independent and confidential service. It was established to offer support to Parents and guardians who may feel they need some time to explore areas which are difficult to them. Counselling is provided by Stefan Green who is very experienced in working with young people and has trained as a counselor. Meetings can take place in the school or in another location if preferred. There is a sliding scale of cost between €5 and €30 dependent on personal circumstances. This scheme will operate until June 2012 and has received financial assistance from the St Declans Parents Association. To make an appointment, please contact Stefan Green at 086 3531522 *Once again this year we have a recycling point available here in school for household batteries, used ink cartridges and unwanted mobile phones. These can be brought to the school by the boys and left at the recycling point outside Room 8. *We would encourage you to please bring any old school uniforms and/or school tracksuits which are in good condition to the St. Vincent de Paul Charity Shop, Henrietta Street, Waterford.
