Charity Work
The transition year students complete a module of community care during the year whereby they spend two hours a week in a local charity shop or hospice.
The school has built a drug rehabilitation centre for children and teenagers in Nairobi, Kenya which they raise funds for every second year. In June 2009 10 students travelled to Kenya to witness the poverty and help in the local schools and centres. They brought €31,000 that the school raised for the project.
The school houses hundreds of unwanted dogs every year.
