Junk Kouture Regional Finalists 2024

Congratulations to Transition Year students Kate Barr, Matthew Murphy and Abbie-mai Hayward on qualifying to the Junk Kouture Dublin finals with their design Ní Mar Shíltear a Bhítear. The students will represent the school in the Helix, Dublin on the 4th of March alongside 80 other designs from across the country. This is a highly competitive competition, with over 1200 entries into the competition only 160 were chose across the country. Ní Mar Shíltear a Bhítear (All is not as it Seems) highlights the contrast of natural materials versus manmade as it was made from can tops and reeds. A huge amount of work was put into this design as it was intricately woven together resulting in a stunning design. Wishing Kate, Abbie Mai and Matthew the very best of luck in the competition!
