School Productions

Our school presents three children’s theatre productions each year: A full length play at Christmas, a Mixed Bag Showcase of our student-devised work at the end of the year, and in the summer a promenade site-specific production at venues such as Dublin Castle, Rathfarnham Castle, Farmleigh House and The Pearse Museum. We also have a variety of poetry and prose recitals throughout the year. 

Our film classes produce between 1 and 3 short films per year. Hands on experience of shooting is essential to learning filmmaking so our film students jump right in to working with camera, lighting and sound to produce self directed and original short films.
