III form Scholarship

This morning eight Junior Cert pupils start two days of scholarship papers with English; they are being tested on an unseen poem (Eileen Sheehan's 'Waking') and the opening of Julia Kelly's novel With My Lazy Eye (go here for an interview and review on RTE's 'The View'). Then they write a literary essay recommending a book, and comparing it to others.

This evening, all our III formers will be attending the Gate Theatre's production of All My Sons: we'll have reviews here in due course.
