The school received their waterbutt as part of their participation in NI Water’s World Water Day celebrations which took place in March.

Down GAA say they have notified Croke Park of the development
Down GAA say they do not expect to face any sanctions after a number of their senior footballers gathered in Newry last Tuesday.
Elite status allows Down and other counties to train amid Northern Ireland s current lockdown, but the GAA has put a ban on all collective training until February 1 at the earliest.
Down county board chairman Jack Devaney also confirmed that they have notified Croke Park of the development. Some of our squad members did gather for approximately 40 minutes at Abbey CBS college on Tuesday evening to discuss individual training programmes, said Devaney.
