Launch of School CD

Category : Blog

The countdown is on for the launch of our Holy Family Senior School CD appropriately named, “Tomorrow’s A New Day.”

The big event takes place on Friday March 6th in the Nano Nagle hall on the Holy Family Campus at 7.30pm.

Background Information

Back in term one, we chose songs with a positive message in an effort to promote positive mental health.

All classes and the staff took part in the project and began practicing their songs under the guidance of Mr. O Brien.

After Christmas, we recorded our songs and now our CD is finally ready to be launched.

Breaking News!!

Our launch night is set to be a spectacular event with special guests and video messages from a variety of celebrities and stars.

As part of this great night, two classes from each of the school years will perform  and show off all their immense talent.

We wish to take this opportunity to commend all pupils for their participation, we also wish we had the room for all classes to perform on the night but we feel confident that the lucky classes will represent their peers extremely well.

We are hoping that as many of the school community can come on the night to share in this fantastic experience and the CD will be on sale on the night, or the following week from the school for only five euros per copy.

All parents of every pupil in the school are invited to attend and we would appreciate greatly if you could spread the word for us within the community.

Attached is a promo video  of the children performing  a taste of the songs recorded.

We hope you enjoy!

                                           Kind regards,

                                                      Ms. Brennan

The school were decked out in Christmas hats and jumpers as they entertained shoppers with Christmas carols. The Teacher’s Choir also helped out with a song or two. Thanks to Ms. Meagher who organised practice and conducted on the day.
