St Oliver’s National School wins award for Christmas film
St Oliver’s 2023 Christmas video called ‘The Old Bike’ has won a National FÍS Award for Outstanding Achievement in Film Making.
Students Dara, Rian, Derek, Ava and Ellie starred in a moving short film about student’s looking after one another.
They travelled to the Helix Theatre in Dublin as nominees and were delighted to receive the award for ‘Best Story’.
The video also featured an original song penned by teacher and director Noel O’ Sullivan, which was performed by teacher Sinéad Flynn and school principal Colm Ó Súilleabháin.
The video was filmed and produced by Oisín O’Connor, while the story was created by Elaine Price, Noel O’Sullivan and Oisín O’Connor.
“It was a great day out for everyone and the students (and adults) felt like movie stars travelling to the Big Smoke for an awards ceremony,” said principal Colm Ó Súilleabháin.
“The award was brought to our attention by our good friend Catherine Mangan who is a Killarney woman and a specialist in Digital Learning.”
