Pupils from Kilrossanty N.S. at ‘War Horse” in Bord Gais Energy Theatre.
Kilrossanty National School trip to “War Horse” LAST Thursday Kilrossanty National School travelled to Dublin to see the award winning West End production of “War Horse” in the Bord Gais Energy Theatre. Classes from 3rd to 6th, who had been reading the novel by Michael Murpurgo, travelled to see the much acclaimed show. It is a powerful story of a young boy called Albert and his beloved horse Joey who has been requisitioned to fight for the English in World War 1. Caught in enemy crossfire, Joey ends up serving on both sides during the war before landing in no mans land. While Albert, not old enough to enlist, sets off to find his horse and bring him home. The production features ground breaking puppetry work by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company which brings breathing and galloping horses to life on the stage. It was a brilliant performance and one which the children and teachers enjoyed thor-
oughly and a day we will never forget. A huge thank you to the Parents’ Association for subsidising the cost of the trip. OPERATION TRANSFORMATION The 6 week Operation Transformation fundraising event concluded last Wednesday night with a wonderful social event for all those who came along from
every sector of the community to support it. It raised the magnificent sum of €2,300 and still counting as some of the sponsorship cards are still to be returned. Our sincere thanks to all those who took part, organised and patrolled this great event and provided the excellent refreshments on the last night. Any outstanding cards can
be given to any member of the parents association or dropped into the school office. CATHERINE TUOHY RETIREMENT FUNCTION The retirement function for Catherine Tuohy will take place on Friday, 2nd May 2014 in St. Brigid's Hall at 8 pm. This is for the parents, past pupils, Board of
