Energy Week 21st – 25th January
This campaign was organised with the aim of making both students and teachers more
aware of our energy consumption…how much we use and how we waste it and how
we can reduce it.
To this end the Council put up energy posters all over the school and elected an
energy rep for every class in the school whose responsibility it is to ensure that all
computers and light switches and any other electricial appliances are powered off
after last class every day.
Also eyecatching photos of some teachers in school were put up in classrooms to give
an extra reminder.
Naomh Uinseann de Phól
Tá obair charthanachta an-thabhachtach don Comairle i gColáiste Choilm. Chuile bliain déanaimid iarracht airgead a bhailiú ar son carthanachtaí sa cheantar.
i mbliana d’eagraíomar ócáid tiomsaithe airgid le haghaidh Cumann Naomh Uinseann de Pól. Chuaigh daltaí ón gCéad bliain ar thuras chun na pictiúrlann. Chonacadar ‘Nativity 2 – Danger in the Manger’ agus bhí lá den chead scoth acu.
Bhailíomar 550 euro agus sheachadamar an seic do Des Hickey, cathaoirleach an chumainn i mBaile an Chollaigh
Energy Week 14th – 18th January 2013
We are currently in the throes of organising an energy awareness week in the school.
This campaign was very effective last year and managed to bring down the schools
electricity costs. Each class will have an energy awareness representative, who will
make sure light and electronics are switched off when not in use. Watch out for some interesting energy awareness posters during that week.

the students really enjoyed themselves and substantial funds were raised.The Student Council presented Des Hickey , Chairperson of Ballincollig St. Vincent de Paul Conference , with a cheque for €550.
