Up to one thousand people are expected to turn up to what is being anticipated as one of the biggest nights of the year at the INEC next month.

'A Night at the OsKarS' will see teachers, SNAs, the school secretary, house staff, bus escorts, parents, family and members of the children’s therapy team from St Francis Special School, Beaufort, appearing in seven different movies.

These ‘movie stars’ will then compete for the highly coveted 'OsKaR' categories: Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor.

The school teamed up with Kevin Rowe Events and a celebrity judging panel includes popular entertainers and TV personalities and your vote will be included on the night. So dress up in your favourite evening gown or tuxedo for a great night out.

"We will all compete on the night for a highly coveted 'OsKaR'," School Principal, Keith Ó Brolacháin, said.

"Our judging panel includes popular entertainers and TV personalities and those attending on the night will also get a chance to vote."

All money raised is going to refurbishing the school's therapy rooms including Speech and Language, Occupational Therapy and Sensory Rooms.
