‘Nowhere to hide’ as Kilmarnock pupils rise to the challenge of school events

Pupils at St Joseph’s Academy in Kilmarnock showed off their talent as fashion designers when they presented dresses, head pieces and jewellery they had designed to their peers, families and teachers in June.

The fashion show, entitled “Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass”, saw each pupil make a contribution, from designing fashion or jewellery to providing entertainment to modelling outfits.

More than 100 “pieces of creativity” were shown to 250 guests at the event, which had taken more than a year to prepare. Items such as head pieces, scarves and masks covered curriculum areas and had to meet SQA standards, said Gillian Gabriel, principal teacher of art.
