Our Transition Year Students graduated on Monday May 27th. Their Year Head Mr Foran presented awards and certificates on the night, with the help of Mr Myles Mitchel (former vice-principal).
Excellence Awards:
Awards were presented to students for their excellent participation in the Transition Year Program. These students gave their all each and everyday, excelled both academically and in their school spirit, in keeping with the values of Edmund Rice.
The two most prestigious awards in TY are Student of the year and ERST School Spirit (the Gradam O’Fearaíl award). These were awarded to Paul Keane and Conor Quinn. Two very worthy winners and students that excel in all aspects of school life.
Gaisce Awards:
Students were also presented with their Gaisce Certificates and Medals. A great achievement that so many of the group completed their Bronze achievement award.
Students participating in soccer coaching received their medals:
Student Speeches:
Our Graduation Night marked the end of the year for our Transition Year students. They took this opportunity to give an account of their time in TY to their families. We heard wonderfully spoken accounts of the activities they took part in, about guest speakers that visited the school, sports, events and training modules they took part in.
Thank you to everyone that made the Graduation Night very special. Well done to all the TY students that presented and spoke about the year. Thank you to Mr Foran for his hard work in putting together the event, and for his efforts all year making Transition Year in our school such a success.
A very special thank you to Mr Mitchel for his continued support to our school and wonderful speech on the night. His words resonated with everyone present, leaving a lasting impression and hopefully motivating students to strive for excellence.
