We were very proud to host our annual "Christmas Jumper Day" on Friday Dec. 6th. It was a fun and festive occasion from start to finish with Students and Teachers alike donning their sparkling Christmas best! From vivid jumpers (which probably should have had planning permission from Roscommon/Mayo/Sligo Co. Council), flashing lights and an eye-watering phlethora of colours, the School was filled with a great buzz of Christmas joy and cheer.
Not only was it a day to parade down the catwalk with fairylights draped around you, it was also an opportunity to contribute €2 to St. Vincent de Paul. The funds donated will go towards supporting those in need, making this event a perfect oportunity to give back to the local community.
Laughter, cheer, and a general Wellbeing buzz filled the school as the students enjoyed the moment.
It was a day to remember, filled with festive spirit, while making a real difference to the lives of others.
The "Christmas Jumper Day" proved once again that the whole Christmas season is about spreading love, joy, kindness, and support for those in need.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped to raise much needed money for such a worthy cause!
A very special word of thanks to EVERYONE, but we must mention the TY students and Mr. O' Suilleabhain who did so much to advertise and promote this very special event.

Students have been researching the restaurants and cafes in our locality and were welcomed to Apache to interview the Manager. We of course had to sample some of the menu while there too! The focus of this Key Assignment was to research "Fast food" and work on our communication and interview skills. Students then discussed their findings in class the following week. We will visit another local food business soon to examine the difference between a variety of cafes and restaurants.

TY Students Gear Up for the Stage with Ill-Legally Blonde
Transition Year (TY) students are setting the stage for another spectacular performance with their upcoming musical, Ill-legally Blonde. Following last year’s unforgettable Mama Mia, Papa Mia!—a three-night sold-out extravaganza that left audiences roaring with laughter at tanned torsos and stage antics—the pressure is on. But if the buzz around rehearsals is anything to go by, this year’s TYs are ready to rise to the challenge and deliver a show to remember.
The excitement is palpable as rehearsals kick into high gear. From the intricate stage design to the precision in choreography, these students are pouring heart and soul into their musical. The stage itself is shaping up to be a work of art, crafted with such meticulous attention to detail that it could rival displays in Broadway! This ambitious project is all homemade by the creative and dedicated TY crew.
Behind the scenes, Director Mr. Peter McLoughlin is leading the charge. His sharp direction ensures every scene sparkles with humor and energy. Meanwhile, the musical aspect of the production is in excellent hands. Our Music Director Ms. Stack has been fine-tuning her choir to perfection, coaxing harmonies that promise to leave audiences mesmerised and spellbound. Not a note will escape her finely tuned ear.
This year we welcome Ms. Emma Coleman, the creative choreographer, who is hard at work ensuring every dancer hits their mark and does not miss a beat. Rehearsals have been lively, with the dancers’ moves becoming as sharp as their wit—a perfect match for the musical’s cheeky humor. The TY boys certainly do a very cheeky dance, which will make you roar with laughter, but that is all we are allowed to say for now🤐🤐🤐.
The cast are rehearsing hard and are already bringing characters to life with their flair and charisma. Building on last year’s success is no small feat, but this group of TYs is not to be underestimated. The camaraderie and determination of the cast and crew shine through every rehearsal, every scene, and every song. The story of Ill-Legally Blonde promises wit, charm, and a touch of outrageous fun, offering something for everyone.
With March fast approaching, the countdown is on for what promises to be another unforgettable production. Mark your calendars and prepare to laugh, cheer, and maybe even dance in your seat. The TYs are ready to prove they can meet—and exceed—the high bar set by their predecessors.
Do not miss Ill-legally Blonde, a hilarious and heartwarming musical that will leave you grinning from ear to ear. Tickets will go on sale soon, so be sure to secure yours before they are gone. After all, if last year’s Mama Mia, Papa Mia! was any indication, this is one show you will not want to miss!
