♻️ Uniform Donations Wanted! ♻️

When our Junior Cycle and Leaving Certificate students finish their exams and prepare for the next chapter, we are asking families to consider donating any school uniform items that are no longer needed.

We would be delighted to receive: 👕 School jumpers
🏃 School tracksuits
🧥 School jackets and PE gear

These donations will help stock our new Blakestown Community School Swap Shop, launching this September. The Swap Shop will support families, reduce costs and promote sustainability within our school community.

Thank you for helping us make a difference for other students while giving pre-loved uniforms a new life. 💛

🍀 Best of Luck to all our Junior Cycle, Leaving Certificate and Leaving Certificate Applied students as exams begin tomorrow.

Believe in yourselves, trust your preparation, and do your best. We are proud of each and every one of you.

We look forward to welcoming the parents and guardians of our incoming 1st Year students to Blakestown Community School for an Information Talk tomorrow Tuesday 26th at 6pm.

This evening will help families prepare for the transition to secondary school and provide important information, guidance and support ahead of August.
