An enterprising group of Transition Years have just entered a competition organised by Friends of the Earth in a bid to win Solar Panels for our school. They began brainstorming several weeks ago and had many ideas, however one which Mr Smyth suggested seemed to resonate. It was to install solar panels in the roof over the water coolers and vending machines and to run these from solar power. This would not only save on electricity but would also raise awareness for solar power. Presentation College is not only used during school time but is also used on Saturdays as a Polish School and is the home of Spotlight Stage School as well as many musical, sporting, scientific and dancing clubs. The team is comprised of Shauna Murphy Woods, Tegan Sherry, Emily Jane Kendellon and Cyprian Godyn. We are hoping to be shortlisted and if so will need everyone’s votes to ensure that “Solar Powered Water Coolers” become a reality for everyone using the College.
