A few updates for Campaign Academy, Donegal.

Max Number - 7 students from the school. Anyone interested let me( Ms. Farren) know before Wednesday 15th November. 

Dates and venue

First session is An Grianan Hotel, Burt. As for the date, I am hoping to hold session one on Tuesday 9^th January and it will run from approximately 10am to 3.00pm. After this session, students will need to begin planning and carrying out there in school/community campaigns. After our first session, we will find a date for the next session.  All sessions will be fully supervised by Concern members of staff who are Garda vetted – we are delighted if you or another member of staff are able to come along with your students but appreciate that getting substitution can be a challenge. You Once the venue is confirmed, I will send out permission slips which need to be completed for each student.

Transportation:

Regarding the transport, we will cover travel costs and I can look into hiring a small bus to collect from schools which are near to each other. To give you an idea of the schools who are interested, we currently have:

Loreto Letterkenny

Moville Community College

Scoil Mhuire, Buncrana

Carndonagh Community School

Mulroy College, Loreto Milford

The residential:

In terms of the residential, I am trying to find a centre which is half way between both Donegal and Dublin to cater for both campaign academy in Dublin and Donegal. I will keep you updated on this but this hopefully will take place late January time after discussion with all teachers involved.

Next steps:

Finally, if you could let me know the names of the students that you wish to take part. We can take a maximum of seven from each school. I understand that this is a small number, but the aim is that the students who come along will get the rest of their peers involved!
