News from around the Schools & Centres

Curragh Post Primary School
The Curragh Post-Primary School choir sang at three major
events over the month of December. They performed to a
packed church at the Curragh Camp annual carol service
on Tuesday 16th of December, entertained the residents of
Oaklodge Nursing Home, Suncroft, on Thursday the 18th
of December, and sang on behalf of St. Vincent DePaul in
the Whitewater shopping centre in Newbridge on Friday
the 19th of December.
All three events were incredibly successful and the choir
was praised highly by all in attendance. The school would
like to acknowledge the effort and hard work of the school’s music teacher, Christine
McEvoy and all of the students and teachers involved.
We would also like to thank O’Brien’s sandwich company in the Whitewater for
providing tea, coffee and hot chocolate to the choir and teachers and donating
generously to St. Vincent DePaul.

St. Kevin’s Community College
St Kevin’s Community College staged its musical in
November 2014 All Shook Up is a show which takes its
audience through the wonderful music of the 1950’s.The
drama is set in a sleepy Southern town and showcased the
wonderful talent of all the lead characters This year’s show
captivated its audience from the opening chords with a
highly professional production. All the key elements of the
show from wonderful sets, costumes, choreography and
music clearly demonstrated the tremendous work from a
huge team of staff and students.
