Minco comes to an end!

After being shortlisted from the Regional Finals, The Spoover qualified for the County Finals in The Osprey Hotel which took place yesterday, 14Th March.
Four minicompany's qualified; The Just Deserts, Baby Cakes, Knot a Problem and Utensilise. We set off to for Naas after break and the other TY Mini Companies took part in The Get UP and Go Competition in the Red Cow.
There was loads of competition in the Osprey. There was one girl who ended up winning the County Final who has created, produced and sold stickers for the soles of high heels so the heels look like designer Louis Vuitton shoes. It is such a simple idea and is one of those things you wished you have thought of doing! The franchise Fran and Jane are even selling her product and the 16 year old has made over a whoppping €50,000! She deserved to win and I wish h er all the best with her company!
St. Wolstans didn't come home empty handed though, The Just Deserts won The Judge's Prize and Knot a Problem were the Runner Up's!! Out of 120 Minicompanies only 18 made it to the County Final so I'm so proud of TY for having four minicompanies competing and out of just six prizes, two of them were awarded to Wolstan's Girls!
Sadly Utensile didn't win anything but it was such a fun day, we even got lunch and the poato salad was amazing, and minicompany was such a good experience and many thanks to Ms. E and Mrs. L for all of there hard work and motivation. Also to Utensilise, we may not have won a trophy but we still did so well considering our product, The Spoover isn't even manufactured!

Well Done to Everyone!

The girls came home from the Drama Competition in Cork with two prizes! Noughts and Crosses won Best Original Screenplay and Best Newcomer! Well done to all who participated and I'm sorry I couldn't go :(
We didn't win anything in Wesley but if I'm honest, I think we should have! I thought it went really well and Ms. O'R, Mrs. G and Ms. W said we sang beautifully! Hopefully we will go back next year and blow everyone away with our song! Leah in third year won the u16 solo competition so fair play to her :)
Congratulations to all who participated in the two competitions!

Wesley Competition!

Today, 4th March the choir are going to Wesley Secondary School in Ballinteer to compete in the Inter- Schools Music Competition. I'm excited to go because I have heard from students who have gone in previous years that some of the choirs are amazing! Our song sounds so good when all the parts come together. I'm an alto which means I sing low notes and our last three notes are so hard, we've been having some problems but all of us are confident we can hit them and blow everyone away! Maybe we'll even come home with a prize :)

Drama!

The girls from Noughts and Crosses are going to Cork tomorrow, 5th March to compete in the All Ireland Transition Year Drama Competetion.. and I can't go! Róisín P. is filling in the part of Kamal for me and I really hope the group do well. So much work has gone into the play from all the girls and our teachers.. The teachers have given up classes for practices and everything! I have told the girls to contact me as soon as it's over and let me know how it went.. Good Luck girls!!

The Spoover!

Yesterday, 3rd March we all went to a Mini Company competition in Naas G.A.A. It was good fun but I was so nervous for the judging. Our judge was really nice though so I didn't need to be nervous at all! Our team got short listed and we'll find out if we're through in our next class! Fingers crossed..
Our team has come up with the idea of a Spoover but we haven't yet manufactured it because it's over 1000 euro but if wwe get through to the next stage in the competition we are looking to raise that money and start selling.. If we go to the next stage we are all so determined to get the product up and running!
