A new staff room for Knockavoe staff

23rd Feb 2022

A message from Friends of Knockavoe:

Just before Christmas the friends committee decided that the staff deserved a little treat, as a thank you for going above and beyond for us as parents, and our children in what was a very difficult time for us all. The staff room got a makeover, with new appliances, furniture and soft furnishings, little affirmations in the form of artwork and a fresh lick of paint on the walls.

Myself (Aisling) and Julie were in school today and to say we were blown away by the transformation is an understatement! Thank you to all who made this possible and gave up their time over the Christmas holidays. Scaldy Roulston for the lovely paintwork, Doodle House Graphics for the cupboards and worktops, they are like a complete new kitchen!, Charlene Hill at From Drab to Fab for upcycling the dresser and pigeon holes from plain old wood to a beautiful blue, her talent is out of this world, Gallagher's Furniture for the very modern and stylish tables and chairs, they were able to source them for us very quickly, our very own Julie for the lovely positive affirmations in the form of artwork, Amanda McGinley and Ciaran Simpson for all their help in making this possible, Daryl our school care taker for making the building accessible during the school holidays and last but by no means least, our very own Hayley Devine, for visualising this and putting it to the committee, anyone who knows Hayley knows that her heart and soul goes into everything she does for our school!

We are very lucky to live in a great community with people who went above and beyond to make this happen for our staff. Thank you all so much from all at Friends of Knockavoe ❤ Happy and relaxed staff= Happy and relaxed pupils❤
