Congratulations to Steven O'Toole, Conn Kinsella, Patrick Boyle, Thomas Burke, Fionn Henry, Sean McCarthy, Tony Xue, Cian Dodson, Eric O'Toole, and Jo's Raftery.
A big thank you to Oscar for providing the music. Edel and the canteen staff for providing burgers and a cookie to keep everybody going to Elaine for keeping an eye on proceedings and to Ms. Merrigan for organising.

All proceeds raised by the event are going to the “Never Give Up” charity. The “Never Give Up” charity was set up by Chris Proby and it’s sole aim is to raise funds for both The Irish Cancer Society and Arklow Cancer Support.
All students who donated in the non uniform day will also be given discount cards worth 20% off entry to the 2021 Never Give Up Virtual Challenge which takes place between July 1st and July 11th with all proceeds being split between Arklow Cancer Support and Irish Cancer Society.
