Our students are trying to do their bit to tackle the problem of textile waste and fast fashion. They are hoping to gather as much good quality, pre-used fashion and sportwear clothing from our students, sort it and sell it in their pop up shop within the school.
This will allow students to clear their wardrobes of unwanted clothes which other students may buy. Proceeds will go towards charities that work with sustainability.
Well done to students from Skibbereen Community School who recently took part in the Credit Union Calendar Competition.
