The annual Mince Pie and Mulled Wine Night for parents of our First Year students took place on Wednesday 16th December. The purpose of the evening is to introduce the parents to the school in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. This event is a collaborative venture between the Maryfield Music Department and the Parents’ Association.
The evening began with a short concert highlighting the musical talent of our students. Of course our First Years took centre stage with performances from the First Year choir and soloists. Maryfield has always had a strong tradition of traditional Irish music and this year is no exception. The audience was treated to a selection of dance music and slow airs followed by the catchy Shipping Up to Boston. The School Choir closed the concert with a programme of Christmas favourites.
The evening concluded with refreshments provided by the Parents’ Association in the dining room. Parents, students and staff enjoyed the festive fare and mingled in the warm friendly atmosphere.
New parents are always welcome to attend the Parents’ Association meetings which take place on the first Tuesday of every month at 7.30pm in the school.
