An impressive 21 local shops will be showcasing on the night, with a wide range of fashion which is sure to appeal to all audiences.

There will be a selection of children’s wear, menswear and ladieswear on show on the night, ranging from sportswear to formal and occasion wear.

Although the main purpose of the event is to raise funds for the school, the entire school community is looking forward to a night of celebration.

Parents, teachers and children will get a chance to come together and acknowledge the wonderful and unique sense of community which the school is very proud of. To that effect, it will be the students, staff and parents themselves who will be modelling the clothes on the night. Preparations are underway, and there is a fabulous buzz of excitement around the school in anticipation of a fantastic night.

Deirdre Walsh, who is a parent of a pupil at the school, will be acting as MC on the night. There will be some outstanding prizes up for grabs on the night, including a two night break at The Muckross Park Hotel, Killarney.

The children of St Brendan’s NS are also creating some of their own fashions to showcase, in the form of junk to funk couture, and millinery pieces. The results of their work will grace the catwalk on the night.

Tickets for the event are available through the school, by phoning 066-712027, or via e-mail at blennervillefashionshow@gmail.com
