Coláiste Éamann Rís' ice-cream van aims to raise school funds

Donated van is operated by transition year students and will offer 'a genuine learning opportunity' for the Cork City school, says principal Aaron Wolfe

School bells are a sound commonly associated with Coláiste Éamann Rís, but now kids are becoming accustomed to jingles of a different tone — coming from their principal’s ice-cream van.

In his role as an educator, Aaron Wolfe is expected to wear many hats. However, he never anticipated that an ice-cream man’s would be one of them. Students from the Cork City school are delighted, nonetheless, to be part of the adventure.
