Congratulations are due to all of the sixth class pupils in the Quay School, Westport, who recently took part in a production of Grease - The Musical. The school hall was full to capacity for each nights performance. More than 250 people attended the show and were stunned at the standard of performance. Some 30 children began rehearsals last January and continued each week until mid-February. A large number of parents were involved with this production and their commitment was second to none. As the performances approached, rehearsals took place twice weekly and eventually a third practice session was included. The sixth class pupils had been working diligently with the production team to include as many original hits from the musical as possible. On many occasions the audience were on their feet to sing along with the show and as the fun came to an end the audience again rose to their feet and accorded the children several standing ovations. Thanks are to go out to all of the production team: Tia Crowley, Loretta Kerrigan, Ann Mc Hale, Judy Fahy, Alice Lennon and Ann Mc Hale. Thanks also to their class teacher Susan Murray and to the large number of parents who helped in so many ways. A particular word of thanks to Etna Doherty who painted various backdrops on the stage.

A study was recently performed by Triton showers to determine how we like to clean ourselves. The survey asked 250 people across five locations in Ireland and it was determined that 50 per cent of those surveyed spend a minimum of 10 minutes in the shower with 14 per cent having two showers a day. It is pretty clear that we like to take care of ourselves, especially our hair and skin, which highlighted something to me this week; fashion might be important but we get just a little excited about the world of beauty. The summer is only a couple of months away and so I have been trying and testing some key things to get us in tip top shape for the long awaited holiday.
