Tullamore student wins Best Comedienne in AIMS programme

Sacred Heart School student Ella Condron has been named Best Comedienne in a new Schools Mentoring programme by the Association of Irish Musical Societies (AIMS).

Ella received the award for her hilarious performance as Paulette in Legally Blonde, in which she wowed audiences with her comic timing and stage presence

The Schools Mentoring Scheme is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at fostering the growth and development of musical theatre among secondary school students across Ireland.

Sacred Heart School were also runners-up for Best Student Production Team.

"It's a huge honour recognising the incredible behind-the-scenes work of our talented students — from set and sound to costumes and front of house.

"Huge thanks to our sponsors — Caroll Design and Surveys, Olive for Education, and MedFind Sourcing Solutions, and to all the local businesses and families who supported us.

"Producing a musical is a massive team effort — and thanks to you, our students gained skills, confidence, and memories that will last a lifetime."

As the pilot programme progresses, AIMS plans to expand the Schools Mentoring Scheme to more schools nationwide, aiming to create a lasting impact on the cultural landscape of Ireland.
