Matilda proved to be a major highlight of the term with two fantastic performances by all the cast on Wednesday, 20th and Thursday, 21st December. Will we ever forget Rudolpho (Rory Glynn) and Miss Trunchbull (Cian Glynn)?!! Matilda (Mia Quirke) was a marvel, as was Miss Honey (Olivia Foley). Matilda's parents, the Wormwoods (Remus Treacy McGee and Grace MacDonnell) were also brilliant. Well done to everyone involved both front of stage and back stage. Huge credit goes to Mr Downes. Thank you all for two fantastic nights! 

Thanks too, to the Parents Association, staff and all the sponsors, and importantly to Brendan for all the preparations that are necessary to set up the stage in the hall.
