Elaine O’Connor & Helen McLoughlan ran bodhrán workshops for all the pupils (the naíonra children included) in the school in April. The workshops were held in the hall and all the pupils from Junior Infants to sixth class were given the opportunity to learn to play the bodhrán. The beating bodhráns and the sound of laughter and yelps of joy from the pupils could be heard throughout the school. Elaine & Helen presented 2 pupils with scholarships to attend a term of their Bodhrán lessons in Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann in Monkstown. Sadhbh Ní Dhraighneáin from R2 and Shannon Ní Mhóráin Ghallchóir from R4 were the two pupils who won the scholarships.

Tháinig Elaine O’Connor agus Helen McLoughlan chun na scoile le ceardlann bodhránaíochta a rith do dhaltaí uile na scoile. Eagraíodh an ceardlann i halla na scoile agus bhí an deis ag gach dalta sa scoil (agus daltaí an naíonra san áireamh) seisiún leath uair a chloig a bheith acu i seinnt an bhodhráin. Bhain na daltaí ar fad ó rang na naíonáin go rang a Sé an-spórt, sult agus spraoi as an gceardlann. Bhí an bodhrán le cloisteáil ó cheann ceann na scoile agus liú agus gáire ag teacht as na daltaí. Bhronn Elaine & Helen dhá scoláireacht ar bheirt dalta sa scoil le go bhféadfaidís freastal ar théarma de ranganna bodhráin i gComhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann i mBaile na Manach. B’iad Sadhbh Ní Dhraighneáin ó R2 agus Shannon Ní Mhóráin Ghallchóir ó R4 a bhain na scoláireachtaí amach.
