St Kevin’s Kids’ Cool Costumed Conga Caper

Sure, isn’t it a fine way to jolt yourself awake on a fine Friday morning…

Down at the Cove as GG’s trusty sidekick Max got his wave-surfing kicks, the sudden arrival of an army of kids in fancy dress marching over the rocks above was truly a sight to behold.

Holy Cosplay! There’s Batman! Crossword Boy! Eh, Piggy Power Ranger! And Nightdress Boy!

With over 500 kids creating one hell of a conga line, snaking through the town and back again, it turns out this magnificent sight was a sponsored walk for St Kevin’s National School.

Organised by the Parents Association as part of Mind & Body Week, the theme was Creative Clothes, and the little tykes took to it with a passion.

It certainly gave the kids more freedom to express themselves than previous outings, such as Silly Socks and, hey, wearing a hat.

We managed to corner one of the parents, young Ms McLoghlin (yep, without the ‘u’), who, once she got over the fright of being stopped by GG, told us a little more about the walk…
