Celebration Evening

On Thursday evening TY students along with their teachers, parents and guardians celebrated a wonderful year which was full of new experiences and opportunities. The students entertained the audience with a mixture of music, sports demonstrations, film making and much much more to showcase their involvement in what was truly an amazing time for all. Of course, all of this was made possible by a team of teachers, Ms McCabe, Mr Kilgarriff, Ms Sheridan, Ms Lynch, Ms Kearns and Ms Ryan who organised so much for the girls and who encouraged them to step out of their comfort zones and get involved. All students appreciated the time and effort given to them by their teachers to make their transition year so memorable.
