Water Theme Coláiste Éanna is continuing to strive to be more environmentally friendly as it works towards gaining its third Green Flag in relation to conserving water.  All public buildings, including schools, currently pay annual water charges, which given the size of a typical school population can prove quite substantial.  In order to ascertain where exactly the water charges were accruing from, and in the hope of spotting potential ways to reduce the cost of same, a water usage survey was carried out in each of the three school buildings and sports hall.  The results of this survey resulted in an inventory of the number of sinks, toilet cisterns, urinals, showers and dishwashers that were in use throughout the school. Based on...

He stressed that the purpose of the event was to draw disparate groups of Past Pupils together and was not about fund raising and that Past Pupils would never be approached for funds in the future.

A vibrant Past Pupils Association is vital for any school community. At best it allows for old boys...

The Br. Dooley Invitational Chess competition took place in the school library on Tuesday last. It was well oversubscribed by club members, so the final number of competitors had to be reduced down to 16. This enabled us to run four rounds of twenty minutes per player. The first round started with a heavy and somewhat unfair draw for the junior players against the senior members of both the A and B teams.
