“Light and Giving” event in support of an Educate Together second-level school

On 21st December the five Educate Together schools in the Lucan area came together in Griffeen Valley ETNS for a seasonal celebration of Light and Giving.

Pupils from each school performed songs, dances and displayed their artwork as part of their learning about different winter festivals, including Christmas, the Winter Solstice, Hanukah, Eid and Diwali.

Representatives of different faith communities, as well as those with personal beliefs, attended the lively celebration and asked for the gift of an Educate Together second-level school for Lucan.

Organised by Griffeen Valley PTA and the Lucan Task Force, who are campaigning for an Educate Together second-level school in Lucan, the success of last night’s inaugural celebration could lead to its return next year.

Carol Dunne, Chair of the Task Force, said: “We are hoping that this will become an annual event for all our school communities, hosted by a different school each year.”

The event was covered by the national media.
