We had many dancing successes recently with Donella and CorraJo Campbell both winning the Central Scotland Irish Dancing Championships at under 15 and u13 level. At the Dance Destination event in Dunoon – Cara Crossan won the under-16 lyrical and freestyle, as well as the duo grand final with Lauren Kennedy.
Donella & CorraJo attend the Peter Thompson Gallagher Academy of Irish Dancing with Cara & Lauren dancing with the FM School of Dance.
- Gaelic Football
S1-3 students took part in a Gaelic Football Tournament against St Ambrose HS on Friday. Unfortunately it was St Ambrose who came out on top but with only a handful of regular Gaelic Footballers playing the performances were good.
