Prize Day

This year's prize day took place on Friday 1st October, 2010.

This year's prize day took place earlier than usual (1st October).
On a sunny Friday afternoon the school community once again assembled at Silversprings Moran Hotel. Present were Bishop Paul Colton, Chairman of Board of Govenors as well as members of the Board of Govenors and Board of Managment.  This year we were fortunate to have one of Ireland’s leading voices in the care and protection of children as our speaker. Guest of Honour, Fergus Finlay (Barnardo’s).

The packed hall comprised an audience of students, parents and teachers. Compared by Bishop Paul Colton, the audience were given an outline of the schools achievements over the past year by Principal Mr. Simon Thompson as well as a vision for the near and distant future. Mr. Morrissey outlined some of the achievements of the recent leaving cert year.

Mr. Finlay followed, speaking to a captive audience as he fondly remembered his own school days and the long term influence of his schooling. A host of prizes were given out to well deserving students for various academic achievements. Proceedings were brought to a close by an entertaining musical section which included renditions from solo performs (singing/music), school choir and the school orchestra.
