The Department of Education finally confirmed they are building us a new school. Seeing our children get the safe environment they deserve is everything I hoped for when I started this. Thank you for staying with me through this long fight.

I spent the afternoon walking through our hallways and seeing the same peeling paint and cramped classrooms that my own kids have dealt with for years. Behind the scenes I am busy preparing our formal case for the Department to prove that our current building is no longer fit for purpose.

My own kids are spending their days in a building that is falling apart around them. We are nearly at one hundred signatures so please send this link to your neighbors right now to push us over that threshold.

Current school ((built over a hundred years ago) served it's purpose but now it falls way short of even the minimum requirement set down by the Dept. of education. This is unacceptable - our kids, and future generations deserve better - we are their voice seeking to ensure that they have the basic, adequate and safe facilities necessary for their education.

A new school is a necessity, the parking on the main road and lack of space both inside and outside is a serious safety concern to all parents.

The school motto is "Dean do dhicheall i gconai, Do your best always". We implore the Government to do their best for all the children of Waterville.

Waterville school is no longer fit for purpose, no parking, overcrowded and no indoor facilities. A new school is the only solution to provide a safe environment for our children.

As the parent of a child attending St. Finian's N.S. Waterville I implore the Minister of Education to act immediately on this matter and give our children a fair chance to the education they deserve.

A new school is necessary to provide a safe environment for our children. The present one has served us well but it is no longer fit for purpose.
