School Show 2026 – Alice s Adventures

Wow! 🎭 What an amazing 2 shows we had in Rossmore Hall on Wednesday 25th and Thursday 26th March. This year, our whole school show was “Alice’s Adventures“🐰 and the cast and crew were absolutely out of this world!  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Classes have been busy over the last few weeks rehearsing and all this hard work definitely showed during both performances. They absolutely nailed all aspects of the show, including the acting, singing and dancing and without a doubt, there is a bright future in showbiz for those who want it! 🎭

On both nights, staff and audience members were treated to two unbelievable performances and we couldn’t be more proud of the pupils. 💗

The performance was recorded both nights by Greg Mulcahy and once the final editing has been completed, we hope to take 6th class to the Park Cinema for a special screening. We are all looking forward to seeing the finished product and details of how the recording can be accessed will be forwarded when available. We are also very grateful to Mark Coombes for once again photographing the performance and we look at forward to seeing the shots that were captured backstage! 📸

We would also like to send a massive thank you to the Hall committee in Rossmore who were excellent in answering any questions we had. As always, this year’s production has been a real team effort with 6th class pupils and staff putting in trojan work. Huge thanks to everyone for their hard work and well done! 👏🏻

BLAST Artist in Residency

BLAST Artist in Residency

BLAST Artist in Residency

Over the last four Thursdays, 2nd and 3rd Classes have engaged in Art workshops as part of the BLAST in Education Initiative. 🎨

Our assigned resident artist for this year was Julie O’Hea, and she has been focusing on the Visual Arts strand of Construction in the workshops. 👩🏻‍🎨

Children in these classes began by thinking about and discussing their personality traits, and explored what animal they believe represents these traits. Initially, they then drew these animals, before bringing them to 3D life, by using recyclable materials. 🦊🐭

When those creations were completed, the classes formed groups, where they came together to make larger 3D animals. These animals were combinations of the different personality traits of the children in that group.

These residencies are supported by the Department of Education and organised through the West Cork Education Centre.

Many thanks to Julie for the fun and engaging workshops which the children in Knockskeagh will remember forever. 🎨
