Latest figures from the Consumer Statistics Agency suggest that there has been a 10 fold increase in blonde hair dye purchased in the North Wexford/South Carlow region👱♀📈💈 We can’t think why?🤔 Anyway, on a separate note, want to see some great smiles on great people having great craic and making great memories?😁🎭🎶 We thought so!🙌 They say ‘Youth is wasted on the young’. However we’d argue the complete opposite, these young people made the absolute most of it!💃🕺#legallyblondethemusical

What a great way to spend a gorgeous late Autumn morning - being a civically minded member of the community!🍂🌞 You may have noticed a number of students from Ms Hanrahan's Padraig 3 CSPE class busy litter picking the week before the midterm🚮🚯They took a leave out of Mr Daly's book by grabbing a litter picker and bin bag before hitting the streets🗑 What a super job they did!👏 Of course they're not the only faithful companions keeping Bunclody and the surrounding areas clean. A big shout out to Mr O'Muiri, Sr Madeleine and all our students that are volunteers with the Tidy Towns Committee!🌹🌼🌷🌺🌸🪻
