Grey school socks and white sports socks were all left at home yesterday as everyone arrived to school wearing brightly coloured mismatched socks to support people with Down Syndrome. In addition, boys brought in donations to support the work of Down Syndrome Ireland.
March 21st, is symbolic because people with Down syndrome have 3 copies of their 21st chromosome. Socks were chosen because the karyotype of Ds chromosomes actually looks like mismatched socks.
Well done to all the boys and staff
