Paula Conlan commented: “We wanted our students to let them see for themselves how fantastic and talented they are, so we arranged to have the show screened at the Odeon Cinema. They brought their friends and families along and really enjoyed sitting back and seeing themselves on the big screen. A big thank you to Odeon Cinema for giving us this opportunity.”
