Top of the Pops!
Last week our Transition Year students brought Mercy Ballymahon to life with their “Top Of The Pops” production. Kicking off on Tuesday night, the show was a roaring success with sell-out shows on Wednesday and Thursday night. We would like to thank everyone who attended and supported the production. Well done to all students who participated in the show, making it as wonderful as it was. From singers, dancers and musicians to impressionists, gymnasts and more, we had an amazing array of talent on display over 3 nights. A special thank you must go to the long list of sponsors who donated so generously in advance of the show. Without your support, the show could not take place. To Ms Siobhan O’Neill, Ms Katie Duignan and all other staff involved in the show, thank you for all your work in preparation for the show. Finally, thank you to the TY students who showed amazing leadership qualities in organising, choreographing and directing the show. We thank them for all the work they put in to make the show as incredible as it is!
