A GREAT night of entertainment is on the cards next Thursday at Mercy Mounthawk to celebrate multiculturalism in the school and to remember a much-loved teacher who died earlier this year.

Martha Brassil passed away in May and over her career did amazing work with students of different cultures in the school.

“Our ‘Intercultural Night’ will acknowledge Martha Brassil’s work here in the school, how much we miss her and continues her legacy of doing so much for interculturalism here,” said teacher, Bernie O’Shea.

“She did huge work with students of different cultures in the school over the years. Martha began the ‘M Factor’ or ‘multicultural factor’ where students would perform song, dance or poems from different countries, she was also involved with the languages initiative doing projects to make students from other countries feel more inclusive.”

The night will feature food stalls, while there will be performances of music, song, poetry and dance from students of African, Asian and Eastern European origin as well as Irish music. The students were rehearsing when we visited on Thursday and it looks like parents and students are in for a treat next week. Scroll down for photos…
