Halloween Fancy Dress Day at Loreto Crumlin

Loreto Crumlin was filled with Halloween spirit, creativity and plenty of fun as students and teachers took part in our annual Halloween Fancy Dress Day. From imaginative individual costumes to brilliant group outfits, the effort and originality on display throughout the school were fantastic.

The celebrations culminated in a fashion show in the Concert Hall, where students from each year group had the opportunity to showcase their costumes. Following the show, prizes were awarded for the best individual and group costumes in each year group, along with the highly anticipated Best Overall Costume awards.

Their enthusiasm and willingness to get involved helped make the celebrations even more memorable.
