On the 14th March, the Student Council and the Prefects organised the annual dress-up day to celebrate the Festival of Purim. Everyone from 1st Years to the teachers participated and had a wonderful time dressing up as a fictional character of their choice. There was a wide range of costumes presented on the day, such as ‘Wizard’, ‘The Pink Ladies’ and ‘Lady Macbeth’. It was a great success as everyone’s costumes were very creative and we also raised over €100 for the Irish Heart and Stroke Foundation. For more photos see the 2013-2104 Gallery.
