Alexandra College

An evening of choral, orchestral and ensemble music presented by Alexandra College and Sandford Park School will take place on Wednesday 24th March. This concert will take place in the Church of St. Gall and St. Columbanus, Milltown Road and starts at 8 p.m. Tickets cost 10 Euro (€5 concession) and are available at the door on evening of performance. The centrepiece of the evening will be a performance of ‘Gloria’ for choir, brass ensemble and organ by John Rutter.

Sandford Parish hosted an Evening of Music & Song with international artists – Eleanor Shanley with Frankie Lane and John McCartin, Anne-Marie O’Farrell and the Alexandra College Trad Band.

It was a wonderful evening and the enthusiastic audience gave a standing ovation to the performers.  The finale was a performance of all the above artists playing together. What an experience for the members of the Trad band, under the direction of Ms Orla Kelly. They played superbly and the audience were so impressed with the musical standard. Well done!

An seachtain seo chugainn beidh an fhoireann sinsir díospoireachta ag glacadh páirt i gcraobh díospoireachta na hEirinn i gcomortas díospoireachta an Phiarsaigh Gael Linn. Is éacht ollmhór é seo don fhoireann ar fad Caitríona Callan, Rachel Fitzpatrick, Siofra Mulkerrin, agus Annah Kenna. Ba mhaith leis an fhoireann ar fad buíchas a rá dona muinteoirí gaeilge ar fad, go háirithe Ms Swan. Beidh an chraobh ar súil sa Gresham ag 6:30 ar an 25ú lá. Tá súil agam go mbeidh slua mór ón coláiste ann. Beidh na foirne á phlé an rún “Tá cúis ghearáin ag oibrithe na hearnála poiblí”.

Next week the senior irsish debating team will be taking part in the All-Ireland final of the Gael Linn Irish debating competiton. This is a huge achievement for the whole team (Caitríona Callan, Rachel Fitzpatrick, Siofra Mulkerrin, and Annah Kenna), who have all worked very hard to get to this stage. The team would like to thank all the irish teachers for their support, especially Ms Swan for all her help. The final will take place in the Gresham Hotel at 6:30 on Thursday the 25th of March. I hope that as many of you as possible can attend to see us argue n support of the motion “The workers of the public sector have a right to complain”.

Well done to Chloe Horne and Iseult Gillespie who made it to the semi-final stage of the Denny Leinster Schools’ Debating Competiton which was held last night in Trinity College. There were four teams competing for only one place in the final and despite a very high standard of debate, the girls did not make it through.  However, we are extremely proud of Iseult and Chloe who have represented Alexandra College in debating for the last number of years and who have helped to increase the status and popularity of debating within the College.
