Culmore Primary School student council have raised £240 in an Easter raffle buy resources for the school.

The student council have been holding monthly meetings to discuss fundraising ideas, which led to a conversation with Carla at Culmore Stores, who ‘very kindly’ agreed to run an Easter raffle on the pupils’ behalf.

The team of busy students have already been using their ICT skills to create colourful posters advertising future fundraising ideas.

Clare McMenamin, Principal of Culmore PS said: “Our student council are made up of pupils from Year 1 to Year 7. They consult with their peers on matters of fundraising and discuss resources needed, or activities they would like to plan for their peers. They bring these ideas to our monthly meetings and we then decide on points of action so that we can really make things happen.
