Coláiste Muire, Cobh

Two projects the school took part in during the year.

1. The Park Road Centre

• We visited the Day Care Centre twice a week
• We took part in activities such as knitting, karaoke and arts and crafts
• The Centre was set up adjacent to Cobh Hospital as a place for the elderly of the Great Island to visit.

2. Cleaning up the town

• We focussed on stewardship
• We made a big difference to the look of the town, especially the church car park and the waterfront
• We felt that it changed Cobh for the better
