This year’s  Transition Year students continued the annual fashion show at Pobalscoil Na Tríonóide last Friday night (1st April ). After weeks and months of work the TY Fashion Show had finally arrived, filled with great live music act’s, exciting dance performance’s and of course, glamorous fashion.

Transition Year students and teachers graced the catwalk, modelling everything from the latest fashion’s, to Tudor clothing.

Tickets for the event were on sale for €8 at all participating shops – Flavin’s, Sport and Lesiure, Genesis, Nevilles, Helen’s Boutique, Nu Schuzz and Danélle’s and at the school. Ticket sales will be used to support Transition Year Funding (School Tour to Rome and TY Daytrip) and the Respite Cancer Charity.

The Fashion Show commenced at 8 p.m and ended at 10 p.m, showing the latest Spring/Summer Fashion. It was hosted by Cork Footballer Angela Walsh who did a magnificent job. Well done TY students and to all involved.
