String Quartet Win!

Newsflash!
Our first John Scottus String Quartet took part in a new Music Festival held at Aravon School in Bray yesterday, 6th June. There were six competitors in the ‘Mixed Ensemble’ contest and the adjudicator was Alan Smale, leader of the RTE Symphony orchestra. Our quartet gave a beautiful performance of ‘Minuet and Trio’ by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – and were placed first!

Picture shows Aisling Wright, cello, Kiya Ryan, Róisín Wright and Molly Guy Lambton, violins, outside the entrance to Aravon School after their great win!

4th Class Boys Trip to Bray Head






Form 2 Boys Art

"We have been learning about the artist Wassily Kandinsky and have really enjoyed creating our own abstract art"

"We have also been finding out the Claude Monet and we created our own version of The Poppy Fields"

The latest artist that we have been learning about is Vincent Van Gogh and we really love his famous painting of sunflowers, so much so, that we decided to create our own artwork depicting sunflowers through collage!"
