Many thanks to everyone for all your support yesterday as we celebrated the 30 year Anniversary of the Cork double with our RED DAY. We are delighted to announce that we raised €1084.92 for Marymount Hospice.
It was a great day for everyone in Brooklodge NS! I hope you had an opportunity to watch us on Virgin Media news yesterday (12.30 and 5.30pm). It is still available on catch-up online.
See below link to the report on our RED DAY which appeared on today’s Echo.
A huge thank you to everyone who got involved or contributed to our Odd Shoe Day today! It was wonderful to see staff and pupils alike getting into the spirit of things!
Baby Alana and her mum called in recently to collect the cheque for money raised during our non-uniform day. Alana’s cousins are pupils in Scoil Chill Ruadhain and her sister is a past pupil. We were delighted to give our support and to meet Alana.

Next week, we will be hosting a school book fair here in Scoil Chill Ruadhain. This is a wonderful opportunity for our school community to buy some great books and for every book sold the school will receive a large percentage to purchase books for our libraries – last year we received over €3000! It’s also a super time to start Christmas shopping!
Children will be given the opportunity to view the books on Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th. Parents and other members of the community are invited to come to the school hall to buy books on Wednesday 16th from 9:15am – 9.45am and on Thursday 17th from 9:15am – 9.45am and 1:15pm – 4:30pm. Children will also be given the chance to buy books on these days.
We look forward to seeing you there!
