'A historic and auspicious day The first time every member of a class in Presentation has performed on the violin' . So said Bean Ui Nuallán when introducing the 90 students from 3rd and 4th class who gave their first perfromance for their colleagues in the hall. It was a splendid occasion. We had some lovely clear announcements. Excellent leadership from Isobel, Maryam, Simone and Adriana . We had a wonderful solo from Roisin who played Twinkle Twinkle.

So what were the highlights. 'My favourite was Irelands Call' 'I liked when Ms Keating played with us' 'Rock You was cool' 'Roisin was terrific' were some of the comments I heard. I would add that I liked it when everyone joined in the singing. Well done to the announcers and leaders ( Isobel, Simone,Adriana and Maryam) I am so pleased and proud of all my students.
See you all in 2014 for the next level .
