Celebrations at the comp!

We are celebrating here in St Patrick's Comprehensive School thanks to the wonderful generosity of Ei Electronics - Ei are sponsoring the refurbishment of our astro-turf as their  ‘big’ CSR project for 2021.'

Ei are renowned in Shannon for their generous commitment to their local community - we are humbled and over-whelmed that they have chosen St Patrick's Comprehensive School to benefit from that generosity. 

Our school community have worked very hard this year to raise funds for our astro-turf refurbishment - thanks to the commitment and generosity of all in our school community, including local companies who donated to our fund in such difficult times, we raised ca €11,000 - those funds will now be used for sport equipment and maintenance of our astro-turf.

St Patrick's Comprehensive School when founded in 1966 was a pioneering school for a new model of education in Ireland. This collaboration with Ei, coupled with the partnerships in our school community between students, staff, parents, our local community, and local industry is a testament to that model of education.

Our students both present and to come will benefit hugely from the refurbishment of our astro-turf - on their behalf we thank Ei Electronics.

Astroturf fundraising campaign

We have officially launched our fundraising campaign for our school Astroturf. Our pitch has been closed for some time as it needs a significant amount of work. Thanks to a recent donation from a very kind local business and some fundraisers in school we have already passed the €2,000 mark. We hope to continue to add to this fund with the help of our fantastic community. Please get in touch if you have ideas for fundraising or sponsorship.
