Welcome
Each February, Portmarnock Community School sends more than 50 transition year students, parents, teachers and friends with a cross section of skills in construction, health and education to engage in a program of work in impoverished areas in countries in Southern Africa. For the last 5 years this work has centered on the Lusikisiki community in The Eastern Cape, South Africa: An area which has been devastated by the HIV virus in recent years. This was in support of the work of the charities,"Friends In Ireland" and "Amawele".
The Class of 2011Now the hugely successful project moves to a new phase and a new country, Lesotho. The school, project leaders, parents and students hope to repeat the successes of the last 5 years by bringing practical help and relief to the people who live in equally disadvantaged areas of this country. The project will enjoy the support of the Lesotho government, Fingal County Council, Dublin Fire Brigade and most importantly the generosity of the communities of Portmarnock, Malahide and surrounding areas.
