The team accompanied by their support- ers had an early start and made their way to The Omniplex Cinema at the Ma- hon Point Shopping Centre. A total of 5 schools from Kerry, Cork and Laois pitched their idea to a panel of judges. The Seasonal Superheroes, Grace Casey, Dylan McGiff, Tom Clifford, Óighe Burns and Sarah Bradshaw impressed the panel of judges with their excellent 4 minute presentation. Their presentation focused on their task which is to encourage people to shop and eat in sea- son produce. The tension was palpable as the MC took to the stage to announce the winner. Exhilaration and elation were the obvious emotions as the Season- al Superheroes were crowned the Cork Regional Win- ners. The team will now go forward to the National Final in Dublin on the 23 rd April. The team and pupils in the school are very excited and busily preparing for the final.
