There was also time for lots of awards and for the students' portfolios to be viewed by all the guests. All agreed that a lot of growing up and maturing had taken place and that the students were now well-prepared to achieve well at Senior Cycle.

This year's graduating class had 'Up, Up and Away!' as their theme.

Everyone joined with their Year Head, Mr. Paul Connolly, in expressing great pride in the Class of 2023.
