🍂🍁Gardening Club🍁🍂

The Club will continue its green fingered work into November – Thurs after school (weather permitting of course).
With all tidied and the garden looking set for 2026 we can make plans for 2027 – namely Spring. Thurs 12th will be our ‘Spring bulb plant-athon’ – this is mainly thanks to a generous donation from a local company …. With crocus, tete a tete daffodils, alliums and iris bulbs to name a few.
***If anyone wishes to contribute further on this front all donations are much appreciated.

We also look forward to making use of the new poly tunnel which is to be installed in the coming weeks. This will allow us to extend the club further into the season/late autumn and also enable it to ‘spring’ into action quicker come March. We will also be able to produce more of our own plants from cuttings and get seedlings established.

A moment to remember.

Prior to half term our pupils and staff lined the corridor to give our retiring Principal, Mr Reid, a surprise guard of honour, marking the end of another chapter in the life of our school.

Mr Reid was led through the guard of honour by a lone piper, our Head Girl, Caitlin. Caitlin was then joined by the rest of our school pipers and drummers, who provided a stirring and memorable musical finale.

Thank you, Mr Reid, for your leadership, commitment and dedication to Aughnacloy College. Enjoy retirement.
