Wow – what a day! The ACETNS students and staff had great fun at the two céilí on Thursday 14th March (Junior & Senior). The children had been working hard at their Irish dancing in their P.E. lessons over the last few weeks in preparation led by Zara, Anna Rose & Molly. Zara was the MC for both events on the day.
