Peace Proms at the RDS

On Sunday, 4th February, our 4th Class students performed in Peace Proms 2024. After months of practice and preparation, the show took place in the RDS Arena, Simmons court, Dublin 4.

The incredible performance featured 2,000 students from schools all over the island of Ireland. Our students were accompanied on the night by our staff Tony, David, Áine and Ann. Our students eagerly sang and danced along while the Cross Border Youth Orchestra played a plethora of popular songs such as ‘Pompeii’ by Bastille, ‘We Are One’ by Wild Youth and pop, dance and musical medleys.

The highlight of the night was when Alisha Weir, star of Matilda The Musical, made a surprise appearance. Alisha took to the stage to perform the song ‘Naughty’ from the musical. What a special moment for our students!

Our 4th Class students performed excellently on the night and did our school extremely proud! Thank you to the many parents that attended the show and who also danced the night away. As we sang on the night “Making memories together, we’ll remember this forever” – and Sunday night is certainly a night that our 4th Class students, teachers and families will never forget!

Huge congratulations to everyone involved!

HTETNS 4th Class Students Attend Peace Proms Workshop

 

Last Thursday, 7th December, our 4th Class students were invited to a workshop to practise songs for their upcoming Peace Proms performance.

The students have been very busy in class practising various songs including Pompeii by Bastille and many medleys of popular dance and pop songs as well as songs from famous musicals such as The Little Mermaid and Matilda. On Thursday, the students took a bus to the National Indoor Arena in Snugborough, Co. Dublin.

Students really enjoyed the opportunity to sing along with thousands of other students from schools all over Dublin and other counties. Our students will continue to work on their songs and dance moves for the performance which will take place in the RDS Arena on 4th February. We can’t wait!
