St. Catherine’s National School is clearly strong with the Force this Star Wars Day as they are preparing for a gathering of both Jedi and Sith for a fun filled day of Star Wars themed activities. Following the extensive use of locations throughout Ireland in the latest Star Wars trilogy, which culminated in 2019’s Rise of Skywalker, and the success of the critically acclaimed series Andor, interest in the Star Wars franchise in Ireland has never been greater. May the Fourth is internationally recognised as Star Wars Day with events taking place in Dublin, throughout Ireland and across the world. St Catherine’s National School think that their event might just possibly be the first Star Wars Day event in the galaxy to be hosted in the Fingal area. St. Catherine’s Parent’s Association Chairperson Matthew Semple said, “St. Catherine’s are inviting children up to 6th class, so primary or national school age, to our Star Wars themed party at 5pm on May Fourth. They can expect party games, a Jedi Master Class and an intergalactic disco featuring a Jedi versus Sith Dance-Off. It’s time to bring a galaxy far far away to Rush so Star Wars outfits are strongly encouraged.” Tickets are now on sale for the event which is just €4 per child. Details of how to buy tickets will be shared on the Parent’s Association Facebook Group and other local Facebook Groups. See you there, we will.
