The picture shows school principal Mr Lenihan, with secretary of the students council Jack Long and Mr Ger Hogan from Dromcollogher Credit Union. Jack is accepting a cheque from the credit union to help alleviate the problem of heavy school bags.
In an effort to reduce the weight of school bags on pupils the school is purchasing a second set of school books so every student will have a copy of their text book both in school and at home. The result of this is students will only need to carry the copy books they need home at night
