IT was an emotional Monday evening for Listellick NS sixth class pupils and their families when they gathered for their graduation ceremony at Our Lady and St Brendan’s Church.
The pupils began their schooldays back in August of 2015 in the school on the hill and will finish up about 50 yards up the road in the brand new school, which was officially opened last Friday.
Fr Amos was the celebrant for the service and this was followed by Principal Annette Dineen praising the pupils for the wonderful young boys and girls they have become during their time at Listellick.

Teachers Anna Flynn, Micheál Ó Dubhghaill and Karen O’Driscoll introduced each pupil, reading the students’ favourite memories of their schooldays and what they want to be when they grow up, from football stars to astrophysicists.
Each of the 39 pupils received a memento of their time in the school from Principal Dineen before the ceremony finished with the pupils singing ‘Lean On Me’ in front of the altar.
The pupils and their families then went to the pastoral centre for refreshments on a night to remember for all. Scroll down for photos…
