38th Edition

Fashion and Variety Show just keeps getting better and better

The 7th St John’s Fashion and Variety Show opened to a capacity crowd on Thursday 6th

December with a record sell-out of 350 tickets in 1 & 1/2 days. For one night only the talented

pupils across the year groups entertained the audience with a packed show of fashion, singing,

dancing and comedy acts. The show was opened by Ms Ann Marie Clare-kelly and the Year 12 boys

performing the latest dance craze “Gangnam style” which went down a real treat with the audience.

The first half as always featured the Year 12 boys and girls in their formal wear.

The girls glittered in their gowns, escorted down the catwalk by the boys in their tuxs, as proud

parents looked on. Year 12 students finished with a waltz which was spectacular. Year 8 pupils

had designed and made their own futuristic dresses with the help of Miss Beattie. They adorned

the catwalk with a group of smartly dressed Year 8 boys. The audience were treated to a scene

from Mary Poppins performed by Year 8, 11 & 13 students. Megan McBrearty thrilled the crowd

with her performance of “Does Your Mother Know” taken from the hit show “Mam ma Mia”. Next to

adorn the stage was Shannon Barrett, Alannah Quinn, Conor McGurren, Clare McCann and Cahir

McGovern who amazed the crowd with their rendition of a selection of country songs. A highly

entertaining scene from “The Two Ronnies” by Darren McCusker & Conor McGurren ended the

highly successful first half.

The second half started with a performance from “Wiiversity” performed by Year 8 & 9.

Cahir McGovern, Cillian McGoldrick and Tomas Quinn from the “Whistling Donkeys” thrilled the

crowd with their performances on the banjos. An entertaining version of “All the single ladies” was

carried out by Year 12 & Year 13 boys!!. Other performances in the second half were a selection of

Irish dances by Deirbhla McNulty and Alanna Quinn, with Shauna Dillon & Clodagh McNulty.

The traditional group played a selection of songs followed by school choir, accompanied by Noreen

McGuiness whose solo performance was outstanding. This was followed by a rousing performance of

“St John’s Midgets” by staff from the school.

CHRISTMAS FAIR 2012

The 2012 Christmas Fair was another huge success for St. John’s and its students. The pupils in the school developed various products, all of which proved to be popular with visiting members of the community. Students sold plants, stunning floral arrangements and Christmas candles. We also had a very successful home baking stand to which parents had donated items. Thanks to all the students and staff who assisted with the running of these events and especially all the parents and members of the community who supported the event on the day.
