OUR Lady and St Brendan’s Church was packed on Friday afternoon as sixth year students from Mercy Mounthawk got together with their families for a special graduation ceremony.
The young men and women, who started at the school back in 2008, are busy studying for the Leaving Cert, but this was a last chance to celebrate before the hectic month of June ahead.
About 200 students attended the Mass which was followed by an address from Principal John O’Roarke and Vice-Principal Mr Fleming. Then, Head Boy and Girl, Liam Gannon and Vanessa Dineen, both spoke on behalf of the students.
After the ceremony, students posed for photos with their families before going on to further celebrate their graduation.
