Hi Everyone,
I want to make sure you are all aware of a very special event that is happening in our school on Wednesday 30th November.

All of the boys and girls in 5th and 6th class, are very lucky to be enrolled in Ireland’s National Children’s Choir. The National Children’s Choir is something that we can be very proud to be a part of. The children have been practising very hard with Mairead Deiseach our PRESTO Music Director, and their class teachers, learning their parts for their NCC songs.

On Wednesday 30th we will have children from 2 schools visiting St. Ultans for their first practice day together. There will be 2 more days like this where we travel to other school to practice with them. This is all in preparation for a concert which will take place in the National Stadium in Tallaght after the Easter Break. The dates for this performance with other children from all over Dublin will be confirmed closer to the time.

If we are very lucky, a certain number of children from 5th and 6th will be selected to perform at a concert in the National Concert hall, on 27th 28th or 29th May.

Class Teachers of 5th & 6th have shared information with parents about where to access music for children to share and practice at home, so that they are confident when they are performing in school.

All the information about NCC is here: https://www.nationalchildrenschoir.ie/

If you have any questions please check in with your child’s class teacher.

Thanks,

Maria
