Limerick schools find a common language of sound and silence for Christmas show

Two neighbouring Limerick schools yesterday joined forces to create a magical production combining sound and silence for a Christmas show.

Fifth-class students from Our Lady Queen of Peace and primary pupils at the nearby Mid-West School for the Deaf commenced working together on a December holiday performance with the mainstream school’s boys and girls learning sign language.

The schools have formed a friendship that is advancing education in a way not provided for in the curriculum.
