Wednesday 29th December celebrates the launch of Colm Dunnes’ and Conor McCarthy’s new book: Kat Food. It’s a recipe book of the Kilkenny hurlers and some GAA stars from other counties. It also features hurling greats, such as Brian Cody, Joe Canning and Aogán Ó Fearghaíl, the president of the GAA. It also has our very own Mr Ruth, Ms Kavanagh, Mr. Leahy, Ms.Kinsella and Mr Carroll.

We wish Colm and Conor the best of luck with their launch tonight.

The book can be purchased for €10. Be sure to get yours as a stocking filler this Christmas.

Thursday 23rd
All TY, 6th and 6th year students will be attending a careers exhibition in the gym starting at 6.15pm.

The part 2 or the drumming workshop will take place on 21st November in the music room. All the TY groups enjoyed the workshop so much the last time that Thomas Duffy was called back in to do another one. This will be a team building exercise used to strengthen the connection within the TY classes. The class will be split into three different parts, each playing a different type of drum. Each group will have a different role and alternative beat to learn. Once the beat was learned, all the groups joined together to make what turned out to be a very smooth rhythm.

We were given the background of Afro-Brazilian drumming and carnivals. And we each got the chance to play different kinds of drums.

At the end of the year 20-25 students will participate in a TY drumming orchestra on the night of the Awards Ceremony.

We would like to thank Thomas Duffy for coming in and introducing us to Brazilian drums. All students enjoyed this experience immensely.
