Mr Priestley's work with last year's TY students, in arranging a series of lunchtime music sessions with up and coming musicians, was showcased at Féilte 2017 on 7th October.
There was a lot of interest in the Stratford Sessions showcase stand at Féilte 2017 on 7th October. Féilte is an event organised by the Teaching Council to celebrate excellence in Teaching and Learning.
Mr Priestley explained to the many who were interested in the purpose and the organisation of these music sessions. Organised by last year's TYs for other students over a series of lunchtimes - up and coming musicians - were given a stage in the French room! The TYs also wrote their own blogs on their blogsite, filmed it and made it their own! See also the school website blogs.
Well done to Mr Priestley and all the TYs.
