This brought together past and present pupils, families and the wider community for a scenic 25km walk and run through some of Offaly’s best-known natural landscapes.

The route took participants along the Grand Canal Greenway into Turraun Wetlands and around Lough Boora Discovery Park, returning to Pullough via Boora Church.

The special event was not only a celebration of the school’s 90-year history but also a fundraiser to support improvements to facilities and resources for current and future pupils.
