On Thursday the 25th October Coláiste Dún an Rí held its first annual Sponsored Walk. This walk was aimed at raising funds to drive our extra-curricular success within the school. The Walk was given great support by students, parents and the local community. Sponsorship contributions will be used to subsidise bus transfers to various sporting events and equipment for extra-curricular activities in the school.

After lunch students left the school accompanied by their tutor. they walked down to the gates of the Dún an Rí Forest Park on the Shercock Road. They then walked through the park, along the back of Kingspan and accross the GAA grounds before returning to the school. The walk was just over 5km. 

As a token of our appreciation Coláiste Dún an Rí had spot prizes for students and those who had sponsored them. A Lenovo tablet to the value of €170 was awarded to Lucy Farrelly for raising the most amount of money. Two €50 Eason vouchers were awarded as runner up prizes to Robbie Carey and Rachel McEneaney. There was also three prizes up for grabs for those who sponsored our students. The first prize included a two night stay in the Diamond Coast Hotel in Enniscrone which was won by Betty Walsh. The Second and Third prize was dinner for two in Cabra Castle. These prizes were won by Conor Sheenan and Aidan Campbell. Congratulations to all.
