Le Chéile Day

On 6th March Maryfield College celebrated Le Chéile Day. Le Chéile are the trustees of our school. The theme for our celebration this year was spreading kindness.

Students were welcomed to school with a kindness charm and a quote to encourage them to spread kindness. Lots of students wore red accessories with their uniform to show their commitment to spreading kindness in our school community. Students carried out random acts of kindness throughout the day and there were spot prizes for the completion of kindness challenges. Year heads awarded certificates to students who demonstrated their commitment to Le Chéile values.

Thank you to all the students who volunteered and participated so fully in Le Chéile Day.

Bí Cinealta.
