Junk Kouture

Congratulations to the TY Junk Kouture  students under the direction of their teacher Ms. Frances Kilcommins who successfully completed nine truly amazing outfits for the national Junk Kouture competition. The girls will be competing in the regional finals during a week-long celebration of youth creativity from March 6th – 10th via the social media platform TikTok. The Junk Kouture judges will then select a line up of designs from this stage of the competition to advance on to the national final in May. Best of luck girls!

Basketball News

Both our first and second year teams played at home last week against Presentation College Headford. Our teams played well on the day but were unlucky with their results due to a strong Headford panel. They will play Glenamaddy Community School next Tuesday 28th February at a home game in our Sports Hall. Best of luck!
