We had two past pupils feature on RTE TV this past week. William Hutchinson featured on ‘Ear to the Ground’ on Thursday. Not only is he a past pupil but William is a parent of two current pupils and one past pupil. He also happens to be a TY Tractor Run Judge. In this episode William discusses how he has turned a breed of sheep which shed their wool naturally with Darragh McCullough. It is available here on the RTE player for the next few weeks.
Make Up artist James MacInerney featured on Nationwide last Monday. He recently had a great deal of success on a BBC program called Glow Up. You can watch Nationwide on the RTE player here
Past Pupil Gemma Willis (Class of 2012) was involved in a car accident in 2015. While she was in hospital recovering, Past Pupil Patrick Furnell (Class of 2012) drew her a get well card with a rabbit on it. All Gemma’s family and friends commented on the card. Years later they decided to design a life for the rabbit and so created Stun Bunzs a quirky greeting card company. https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/StunBunzs?ref=search_shop_redirect https://www.instagram.com/invites/contact/?i=1fzlcauscuya3&utm_content=2uuhjxk https://www.facebook.com/StunBunsz/ Gemma Willis 087-7915582 Patrick Furnell 083-3518285 |
