Feis Participation 2019

5th Mar 2019

Many thanks to all our little pupils who took part in the Speech and Music Feis this year! You are all stars! For any child, who wasn’t just ready this year, do not worry, there’s always next year! The value of entering Feis cannot be underestimated. Entering Feis and performing in front of our community members, families, friends, an adjudicator (although nervewrecking!!) actually helps our children build up resilience for being able to manage these types of pressures later in life ….e.g. Job interviews, college interviews, speaking at meetings etc. Of course it also goes without saying that partaking in Feis events develops our speech skills and allows us to share our musical/ dramatic talents too! We can’t lose. Some children can perform with ease in a solo capacity and others prefer to perform in a choral group! Developing these skills takes time and patience so well done to all. Many thanks also to our parents who support these initiatives by encouraging our children and helping them prepare…..you are amazing. Many thanks also to our staff who help our children practice in school and even prepare some choral events with our pupils e.g. choral poems and choirs. Your dedication to each and every child does not go unnoticed. Thanks also to Ms Finola Kerr (Kerr School of Speech and Drama) who actually came in to our school and gave FREE tuition to our pupils in all year groups to help prepare for Feis. Finally thanks to Mrs Nuala Kerr and Strabane Feis Committee for working so hard to provide this opportunity in our local community for our children. Very shortly, as promised, each child who entered the Feis this year will get a certificate from our school in recognition of their efforts. Little stars …..one and all!...until next year!
