There's Always Light at the End of the Tunnel

Were getting closer to the opening night of the sound of music performed many St wolsatns and many other secondary schools in the surrounding area I would name the schools but i dont know the names so I cant!!!! I have been working on the promotional team and we have been working on a blog and just two weeks ago we reached 10,000 page views. working on this musical has been an amazing experience and I am so glad that I got involved. Yeah it had been a lot of hard work, A lot of hours spent in school after school and on Saturdays and there has been a lot of photo taking and blogging but it really has been a great experience a tiring experience but a great one. The opening night is on the 5th of December and we have all been working towards this night and I cant wait to see the show on the first night after it has all been put together. Im looking forward to seeing everyone's hard work finally p...

This year St Wolstans is performing a musical “the sound of music.” I called this post the sound of St Wolstan’s because Louise came up with the great title for a  blog that we are  doing to help promote the show. This is going to be a pretty short post at the moment but I will have longer ones about it soon. I really dont know that much about it all i really know is that we are putting on a show! I am helping out with the promotion and the blogging :) I will have more information on it soon hopefully but for now here is a song from the sound of music :)

Last week I had  a talk for L.C.V.P. The talk was about trade unions, workers rights and working conditions. It was a really interesting talk and I learned a lot of new tings that were really shocking. We were shown videos about working conditions in countries like Asia and places like that. Children from the ages of five are made to work in factories where they are not allowed to talk, have breaks, use the bathrooms or drink clean water. They would work for 16 hours straight without breaks five to six days a week and would only make around 1 euro each week. I didn't realise how bad working conditions were in other countries and I was shocked when I saw the video  of young children working in a Nike factory. We were thought about other things to do with worker rights, trade unions, activism and other things but what I took most from the talk was the horrible and unsafe working conditions in other coun...

The one thing about T.Y that I loved the most was that it was fun and well my friends who went straight into fifth year pretty much said that it wasn't fun. When I finished T.Y that was the one thing I would be dreading was weather or not it was going to be boring and working all the time or if we were going to be having some classes where we got to have fun. The girls even made us this poster after our first day of fifth year...... But fifth year isn’t all that bad, I know its still the first week and we haven’t had much homework and I have no doubt that we will be getting more soon but to be honest I’m enjoying fifth year. I think that has a lot to do with the fact that I love the subjects that I am doing. I love home ec and biology and L.C.V.P or L.V.C.P how Aoife spells it is great too. The only one subject that I am dreading is drama but we only have that once a week on a Wednesday morning so it will be out of the way in no time and o...
