The Transition Years had their end of year exhibition night on Wednesday, May 21st.

The night gave the students an opportunity to showcase their years work.

To mark the occassion there was even a special cake made, with the school logo on it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This took place during the week 27^th April – 1^st May 201.

The P.E. department arranged a number of activities to raise awareness of this event. Each morning at Assembly, the whole school took part in a dance activity.

The final event of the week was the Annual Student Teacher basketball match on Friday, May 1st.

During the interval the teachers entertained the school with a display of their dancing skills (this followed some intensive coaching sessions from Miriam Howlin!)

It was a fantastic success.

Special thanks to P.E teacher Miriam Howlin who organised the entire programme of events.

Needless to say the Student/ Teacher Basketball match was won by the teachers! That’s 57 years in a row. Even less surprising they completed the double when winning the dance-off.
