Time for a spring clear out of old and unwanted textiles over the bank holiday weekend? Our next Cash for Clobber Collection is next Wednesday, 15th June. 

Arrangements are a little different this year and we would ask that bags of clean, unwanted textiles are brought to school on Wednesday at drop off time (before 9:15am) and passed ‘over the wall’ to staff for storage in our Car Park until collection time. Please observe social distancing guidelines.

What can you put in the bag??

• All types of clothing (even with holes/tears/missing buttons etc!)
• Bags and shoes (please tie shoes together with laces)
• Hats and belts
• Towels and curtains
• Bed linen (sheets, pillow cases, duvet covers)

** Remember NO QUILTS or PILLOWS and all items must be clean.**

Many thanks for your continued support.

HAPPY WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY

Happy World Environment Day!

World Environment Day is celebrated  on 5th June each year with the aim of encouraging awareness and action for protection of our environment. The theme for World Environment Day 2022 is, Only one Earth

We cannot turn back time. But we can grow trees, green our towns and cities, rewild our gardens, travel sustainably, change our diets, reduce, reuse, recycle, grow your own food and clean up rivers and coasts. We are the generation that can make peace with nature.

How are you are helping our environment today. Please send us your photos/videos to our Facebook page @stcolums or email to stcolumsoffice186@c2kni.net
