St. Patrick is celebrated at Edmund Rice College
The cultural nights, organised by Mary Ross and Marie McGrath, have been running in the school for the last number of years and have included a 'Filipino Cultural Night' and 'Polish Cultural Night' in which the cultures of the respective countries have been celebrated through an appreciation of music, dance and food.
Last Thursday, guests enjoyed music from the Glengormley School of Traditional Music, Irish Dancing with Arlene Trainor, Orla O'Connor and Sarah Burns, and food and Irish coffees provided by the school’s Home Economics department.
