Because We're Happy :)

Since September we have been working on a Religion project called 'Schools Across Borders'. This project allowed us to create a mini NGO. We based our NGO on girls education as we are a girls school. We named our NGO 'Empower Girls'. We created a video during the year to show how we were happy in school and how we wanted every girl to feel the same way.

This is the movie I made about empowering girls :

Junk Kouture

We have been working on a project in home-ec called Junk Kouture. Junk Kouture is a fashion competition where you make an outfit out of recycled material (junk).

At the start of the year we were put into groups. In my group were Caoimhe Mc C, Caoimhe M, Sita, Merveille and myself.

 We sketched out our ideas and all agreed on a dress made of many layers on bubble wrap ,a bed sheet , and wire. We had a draw to see who our model would be and I was pulled from the hat.

We began to gather materials and we got a corset for the base of the dress. We pleated the bubble wrap and dyed the bed sheet pink. As the bedsheet was big we decided to cut the fabric and sewed it onto the corset and added some silver giltter. We also created a big bow out of bubble wrap and tied it together with earphones, we used this for the head piece. Sita brought in old shoes and we glues pink material to them.

Last week we had our school fashion show and all the models wore their junk outfit. We were judged by 3 teachers. As we walked the catwalk a member from our team would read a blurb about our creation. The fashion show was alot of fun and it was really exciting seeing what other teams have created.
