Each of the classes composed a special tribute to Kilberry N.S. in honour of our 50th anniversary celebrations, and parents, grandparents and past pupils were treated to a spectacle of music, songs and poems.
Junior and Senior Infants and First Class performed, ‘HELP!’, by The Beatles which was no. 1 in 1965. Complete with actions and percussion, this arrangement completely charmed the audience.
