Our Variety Concert The X Factor was a great success.  The students and staff worked extremely hard to bring the show together.  For many students it was their chance to shine, performing songs of their favourite pop idols!!

 Students gave 3 performances of the show – students from the primary schools of Carrigeen, Kilmacow, Piltown and Mooncoin attended.  Both students and parents really enjoyed the event.

Excellent performances were given by Joanne O Brien, Mary Teresa O Connor, Katie Kammerer and Stephen Greene with Mary Teresa and Stephen being crowned worthy winners!!!

 Congratulations and well done to all performers!!!
