Transition Year

The Transition Year class in Athboy Community School organised a very successful formal Phantom of the Opera themed Ball last week
for 5^th Year, TY and 3^rd year pupils of the school and their friends.

The evening started off with a sit-down meal in the Old Darnley Lodge Hotel followed by a disco. The event was part of the TY class
Enterprise/Mini Business and the group were co-ordinated by Year Head MsFitzGerald.

There were over 50 students in attendance as well as the 24 French Exchange students currently in Athboy from Lycee Jean Monnet in Crepy-en-Valois, Picardy and their Irish ‘correspondents’.  The French were in town for a week of study and activities including trips to Causey Farm, Newgrange, and Dublin City as well as soireés and classes. The Irish made the return trip over the Easter holiday.

Amidst great excitement, 3^rd year student Mia Miller was voted ‘Best Dressed Girl’ with TY student Gavin Strong scooping the Male Award.  The ‘Best Dressed Teacher Award’ went to Miss Fitzgerald. The King and Queen of the Ball were voted in as Alan Troy and Saoirse O’Driscoll.

The TY students would like to thank the hotel and also the teachers who made themselves available to supervise on the night, Ms
FitzGerald, Mr Leavy, Mr Magner, Mr Maxwell, and Ms Byrne.
