What a day filled with music magic!
A handful of our talented music students from 1st to 3rd year had the incredible opportunity to participate in an IMRO funded Song Writing Workshop led by the amazing singer/songwriter Luan Parle.
We were very excited to have the legendary Christy Moore as our special guest. Students were treated to a captivating mini-interview with Christy, soul-stirring performances, shared musical moments, and gained insights into Christy's illustrious career, breaking into the music industry, and life on the road.
To end the day, the students performed their original song "Frozen in The Memory". earning an applause and an enthusiastic thumbs up from the man himself!
It was a day of pure joy and inspiration for both our students and staff. One that we're certain will remain 'Frozen in the(ir) Memory' forever.

Our 6th year Home Economics students took part in sensory analysis testing to apply their understanding of how these tests are carried out and how the results are analysed. They completed a preference ranking test to see what orange juice they prefer (Tropicana won!). They did a paired comparison test to see if they could identify the difference between two McVities rich tea biscuits (66% could identify the sweeter version). They also participated in a descriptive ranking test to determine which crisps were the saltiest out of three samples of ready salted products (this was challenging...they were all close at 1g per 100g O'Donnell's, 1g per 100g Tesco, 1.13g per 100g Keogh's).
