CWETNS Parents’ Association Kids & Adults Photo Contest
We had nearly 150 entries to our Spring photo contest, with a theme of My Neighbourhood. We think these pictures capture our strange Spring term homeschooling beautifully. Many thanks to the judges, our brilliant CW teacher Séan and two talented Canal Way parents; photographer Angie Pappas Constable and artist & curator Michelle Browne.
Huge congratulations to everybody who shared their photos, and to our winners:

About The Parents Association
The Parents Association at Canal Way Educate Together National School gives a voice to parents within the school community to actively participate in the development and running of the school.
Every year, the Parents Association raises money to support our school. Indeed, CWETNS relies on us to buy new materials, equipment and resources for the children to enhance their educational experience.
We want our school to be inclusive and without financial pressure. However, if you are able, we kindly ask that you contribute as generously as you can in this particular time when fundraising events are difficult to organise.
Last year for instance, the Parents Association organised coffee mornings and a winter fair. This year, we are working on the organisation of social distancing fundraising activities, such as the online family quiz planned on the 13th of December. We will be sharing more details soon!

This Family Quiz is creating a real buzz and promises to be the go to event of 2020 (apart from the Toy Show which let’s face it, isn’t for everyone!).
We’re collecting great prizes to make it worth your while, so please get in touch with the PAC if you have any vouchers, gifts or creative skills you can offer as prizes.
Organised by the PAC and hosted by Colm O’Regan, this promises to be a really fun event for all the family!
