The “Junk Kouture” Initiative, inspired by our Greenschools co-ordinator Ms Eileen Murphy whereby students were encouraged to design a fashion piece from recycled material. The results were pretty amazing. The eventual winner was Kellie Hamilton (2.2) with her “Little Mermaid” creation. The outfits were judged by Leaving Cert. student Dearbhla Skeehan who complimented all the participants and their assistants on the impressive collection of Junk Koutoure. Many thanks also to An tUas Pádraig Mac Craith (Art & Design Dept.)

In a very relaxed and informal manner he covered most important topics on the Leaving Cert. course. The students were all very upbeat and positive following the Jim’s address, saying he couldn’t have come at a better time. Many thanks to Jim for taking time out of his busy schedule to share his knowledge and experience with our students.Thanks also to Ms Shiovaun O'Sullivan who organised the visit.
