Gaelcholaiste Students Take To The Catwalk

TRANSITION Year students from Gaelcholaiste Chiarrai strutted their stuff in the Meadowlands Hotel to raise funds for their annual trip to Fenit for their foundation course in sailing.

“This will help defray the cost of the course because parents have enough to pay for these days,” said teacher,  Michelle Daltuin.

“They’ve been preparing for six weeks by going downtown with letters to businesses before Easter, to picking out clothes and getting spot prizes yesterday. It’s been going for the last 12 years and the local businesses have been fantastic,” said Michelle.

The 35 students went through a range of outfits on the night and the large attendance of family and friends had a great time watching them throw shapes on the catwalk.
