It’s been almost a year since the Staff and Parents of the Divine Word National School in Rathfarnham donned their dancing shoes and raised more than €50,000 to install a soft surface play area in the school grounds, something that will make a huge difference in the quality of play for the children and the peace of mind of staff and parents alike.
The ribbon to open the playground was cut today by Minister Shane Ross as the children returned from their Easter holidays, to a brand new and safe environment for all.
Principal John Williams said ‘this playground is a combined effort of everyone in the school and shows the strength of the community that surrounds the Divine Word School, bringing everyone together for a common goal, it’s been a pleasure to work with everyone on this project and what’s most wonderful for me personally is that the benefit will continue for many generations of Divine Word pupils.’
All our hard work definitely paid off 👏💃🕺
Thanks to all our dancers, sponsors, teachers and of course the parents !
