French Play 8 October
Last Wednesday, the 8th of October, a French Theatre Company visited our school. All the TY's who study French attended. The play, ''Le Bureau de Madame Grande chance'', was about three adults who were needed to rob a bank to receive a grand fortune; a banker, a mechanic and a policeman. Each person's job tied in with the plan to rob the Grand Central bank. The room was full of laughter as everyone enjoyed the play. The actors were skilled performers and this helped to give the audience a clear understanding of the plot. Overall, the play was a worth-while experience. It is not often we get a chance to hear French people speak their own language. Moreover, it opened our eyes to new vocabulary and better pronunciation.
Until next time, au revoir!

Photography Course 29-30 September
This week the first group of twelve students took part in
a Photography Course with Tim Durham. Firstly, we learned photography techniques and how to use a digital
camera to the best of our ability. In groups of two or three, we were let loose
around Balbriggan to take photos using our new skills. On Tuesday, Tim showcased
his photography in an amazing slideshow, telling us about his travels to
beautiful parts of the world that inspired him to take up photography as a
profession. Our best shots were chosen and our work from Monday was displayed
for the group. It was rewarding to see our own pictures on a big screen and get
everyone's feedback! Overall everyone thoroughly
enjoyed this course and we gained useful skills and insight that we will apply
from now on when taking photos! It was a worth-while experience and we would
recommend future fourth year students to give it a go.

Set Design
Hi! I'm a part of the set design team for our school musical 'Singing in the Rain'. Being part of the set design team means we
design sets and scenery that aim to fully immerse the viewer in the production.
Being part of the set design team, you're in
charge of setting the scene and atmosphere of the play.
The set design team works with the director
and other designers to establish an overall visual concept for theproduction
and design the stage environment.
So far we have watched a production of
'Singing in the Rain' that was produced by a Community School in Illinois, United States of America via YouTube.
Here's a link;
Watching this video helped to brainstorm and
get ideas for how to set up our stage for the production. Stay tuned for
updates on my set design experience.

Production Team
Hi, I'm a part of the TY production team in our school. I decided to put myself forward for the PR team because I enjoy working in a group and have a passion and enthusiasm for media and advertising. I have to organise the tickets and create a brochure for the TY musical. My job in the PR committee is to record all of the sponsorship money we receive. In order to raise money for the TY play we asked shops and companies in Balbriggan if they wanted to place an advertisement in our TY brochure. In addition, we have organised spot prizes to raffle during the TY play.
