On Wednesday May 12th, we marked a very special occasion in our school calendar with our Annual Awards Ceremony 2026.
We were delighted to welcome our special guest, Liam Cahill, Tipperary Senior Hurling Manager, who kindly presented the awards to our students. A special word of thanks to Liam for delivering a motivating speech to our students, which highlighted the importance of being resilient, reliable and respectful. We were also pleased to be joined by John McCarthy, Director of Schools with Tipperary ETB, and Fiona Conroy from Tipperary ETB.
A wide range of awards were presented during the ceremony, celebrating the many achievements and successes of our students throughout the year. Congratulations to all of the students who received awards — your hard work, dedication, and accomplishments are a credit to yourselves, your families, and our school community.
