Poetry Aloud Success

 

 

CCS received wonderful news recently that two of our students have been selected to progress to the national finals of Poetry Aloud. Summer Rose( First Year) and Leanne Vaughan( Third Year) were thrilled to be selected from hundreds of entries from the thirty-two counties of Ireland. This is a phenomenal achievement for the girls as only nine students were chosen in each category to proceed to the finals.  Leanne has been participating in Poetry Aloud for the past three years and she also participated in the national finals of this competition last year. One of our fifth-year students, Abi Flanagan, won first place in this very prestigious competition last year so this is testament to the wonderful work being done by the English Department in CCS. This poetry recital competition is organised by Poetry Ireland and The National Library of Ireland. We would like to congratulate Summer and Leanne and wish them the very best of luck as they begin preparations for the National Finals. Thanks to Ms. Margaret Larkin and Ms. Bernie Gormally for mentoring the girls and to The English and Technology Departments for all their support and help preparing for the Regional Finals.
