IT was the end of an era at CBS Primary for  pupils in the school’s three sixth classes, who began their educational journey in 2009.

The students put on their blue jumpers for one last time on Thursday and enjoyed an awards ceremony in the afternoon.

Students were recognised for their academic, sporting and other achievements throughout the year.

The Sárscoláire award went to Matthew McDonnell, who was deemed a worthy student of the year.

The three sixth class teachers Pat Costello, Maggie Griffin and Anne O’Sullivan praised the students for their hard work, enthusiasm and behaviour throughout their school years at CBS.

They said they have been a credit to themselves, their families and their school, and have a bright future ahead of them.

A Graduation Mass took place in the school hall, after which students, parents and teachers gathered to reminisce and celebrate the end of Primary School Education for the three classes, who now look forward to a new adventure in September.

The students also made a video displaying their dancing prowess and recreating photos of themselves from years gone by. See video and class photos below…
