Dear Parents and Guardians,
The Ember Team , Student Council and CUSPA are excited to announce our Daffodil Day Steps Challenge in support of the Irish Cancer Society! This initiative encourages all students, staff and parents to get active while raising awareness and funds for a great cause.
What is the Challenge?
Our goal is for students, staff and parents to walk 12,000 steps a day to raise funds for the Irish Cancer Society! Every step taken symbolises hope and support for those affected by cancer.
Each class group is competing for the first ever ‘House Cup’. Who will come out on top? Chanel? Colin? Watters? Or Leterrier?
How Can Your Son Participate?
- Encourage them to join their classes ‘StepUp’ page. They have been briefed about this already in classhead.
- Walk to school, take the stairs, or go for a family walk in the evening.
- Ask friends and family to sponsor their efforts to help raise funds.
How do you sponsor us?
Please sponsor us and help us raise money to support, patients travelling to and from chemotherapy treatment, specialised nurses and clinical equipment and counselling sessions for those who have been diagnosed with cancer. You can sponsor us through this link: Irish Cancer Society – Catholic University School
How Can You As A Parent Participate? This challenge is not only for Students but for Parents!

Why Participate?
Daffodil Day is a vital fundraising event for the Irish Cancer Society, supporting cancer patients and their families. By taking part in this challenge, students, staff and parents will not only improve their fitness but also contribute to an important cause. This will also bring us together as a whole school community.
The steps challenge will end on Friday the 28th of March- ‘Daffodil Day’. The Ember team will be selling daffodil pins on the 28 th of March, students and parents will be reminded of this closer to the date!
Thank you for your support in making this event a success!
