PUPILS, parents and staff from Caherleaheen National School took to the catwalk for the first time last night and they didn’t disappoint, delivering a fantastic night of entertainment.
With a sell out crowd of over 400 attendees at Ballyroe Heights Hotel, the fashion show had everything. From the pre-schoolers to the nanas, the bravery of the models was exceptional, while the massive crowd were treated to fashions from 17 local boutiques, as well as a host of home grown entertainment.

The atmosphere was electric, with one of the dads of the school, Brian Hurley acting as MC on the night.
The audience were treated to an eclecltic mix of fashion and entertainment as students, teachers and members of the school community took to the catwalk to celebrate their school.
Apart from the outstanding fashions on show, they also had an incredible selection of prizes to offer.
Notably, Aidan O’Mahony donated one of his inter-county jerseys to the night, which was won by Gearóid Constable, Ballyseedy.
The committee wished to thank all of the local businesses who made the night possible, and provided the incredible 30 spot prizes which were up for grabs.
What started out as a fundraiser became a celebration of the school community at Caherleaheen.
While much needed funds were raised, more importantly, the night highlighted what can be achieved when parents, teachers and children work together. Scroll down for photos (we’ll have loads more later)…
