Ravenswell couldn't be better represented in Bray Emmets' Strictly Come Dancing, taking place in Killiney Castle this Saturday March 9th!

Parent, Catalina Galan, along with staff members, Charlotte, Annmarie, Orla and Kerry have been practising tirelessly since mid January for the sell-out event. They will perform a group dance with the other couples and then a dance with their assigned partner.

The event is a fundraiser for Bray Emmet's Juvenile coaching, which the children in Ravenswell benefit from immensely. It will help fund the coaches that come in to our school, and others, each week. If you wish to donate to the fundraiser you can do so by clicking the link below.
