  • If the Bedroom Walls Had Ears

    “Right now the world is very chaotic, yet now I think we’re more of a community than we ever have been”

    The words of 15 year old Lucy Grace in a piece she wrote especially for the last Episode of If the Bedroom walls had ears’

    Lucy is one of five 3rd year students who came together exactly one year after lockdown began to discuss what pieces of art helped them through the last 12 months. Recorded in Portlaoise College, the five students come together to chat and even sing to Ann Marie about musicals, poems, and films that helped through a time when they were unable to see their friends. With no junior Cert exams to worry about, it allowed them to explore other Poets not on the curriculum and form even better relationships with their teachers!
