Two Stratford students reach the Junior Semi-Finals
In October , Jill Ivers (2nd Year), Alice Murphy (3rd Year) and Diarmaid Kelly (3rd Year) attended the Poetry Aloud competition in The National Library of Ireland. In the Junior category, the competitors had to reciteThe Stolen Child by W.B. Yeats and also a poem of their choice.
