Last week we had some special visitors to our school as Ray and Brian from Teck Ireland Ltd were on hand to present a cheque to the school for €3,800. This kind donation has gone toward the purchase of 13 Chromebook laptops for our school - a significant contribution to our school improvement efforts in the area of digital learning.
Teck Ireland Ltd. has been exploring for zinc and lead in Ireland since 2007. Field activities, run from their base in Mullingar, typically involve geophysical and geochemical surveys, the purpose of which is to advance the understanding of the bedrock geology and to allow them to work towards a new zinc discovery.
Teck like to recognize that the well-being of their neighbouring communities is fundamental to the long-term success of the company. As such, they are committed to supporting local people, communities and initiatives, through their Community Investment Program. It is with this goal in mind, and to show their appreciation for the continued support from local landowners, that they have gladly contributed funding to Scoil Cholmcille here in Skryne.
