What got you through lockdown?
Five 3rd Year Students from Portlaoise College, County Laois come together exactly one year after the first lock down to discuss what pieces of art helped them through the last 12 months, at 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! For Josh singing songs from "Waitress" helped him pass the time, for Lucy it was reading and writing and for Ben watching movies like "Sound of Metal".
'They say the rainbow comes out after the storm but I'd like to think the rainbow is always there during the storm. It's just hidden and you just have to look for it'
