Congratulations to three of our students who have reached the national final of Poetry Aloud 2015 which will take place in the National Library, Kildare Street on Friday, 4th December. Jodie Milne – 5th year (Senior), Abbi Lennon – 3rd year (Intermediate) and Narcisa Toma – 3rd year (Intermediate) have already successfully competed in a Leinster heat and national semi-final to win their place in the final. In fact, this is the second time that Jodie and Narcisa will compete in a Poetry Aloud national final.
Poetry Aloud is an all-Ireland poetry competition where students get the opportunity to bring two poems to life by reciting them in front of an audience and adjudicators. 1800 students participated in this year’s competition and the girls are now in the top ten in the country in their category.
16 students from our school took part in this year’s competition; they took on the challenge of learning two poems off by heart and ‘speaking’ them in public in the National Library. This was a personal challenge for each student and advancing to a semi-final or final is the icing on the cake. Well done to all the girls who participated.
