Another Scary Movie!

Gaisce participants finished their 13 week animation course, just before the Easter break. Here is their finished (extremely spine chilling!), horror stop motion animation film of, yet another Scary Movie! ''A Scary Movie'' was made By Katie Conlon, Katy Flynn, Rachel Kerrane and Lucy Madden. Each student made their own version of the film, editing and cutting different clips, and adding different sound effects. This finished film is made by Lucy and selected as the best film from the group to be viewed on the blog. Congratulations Lucy and well done to all the girls for their commitment to the course over the past months.

LCA YR1 2012 - Art Exhibition

On 30th Nov 2011, Principal Ms Mary Mullarkey officially opened an art exhibition in the school assembly area entitled ‘Identity’, created by Leaving Certificate Applied Year 1 students. As part of their general education course, students were given the task to stage an event. The students excelled in this task and spent several months creating a wide range of artworks such as prints, paintings and animations for their exhibition, which they hosted for over 100 students, teachers and family members. They transformed the assembly area into an art gallery space and an enjoyable afternoon for all their guests.
