A MOMENTOUS Monday at St Brendan’s NS in Blennerville came to a close with a special graduation ceremony as sixth class pupils said farewell to their primary schooldays.

The 26 pupils and their families took shelter from the driving rain outside at the school hall for an emotional evening of reflection, song and laughter.

“They’ve been a fantastic group, very energetic, lots of fun and they’ll be missed,” said Principal Robbie O’Connell.

Fr Vitalis performed a blessing at the ceremony which was followed by a performance of Coldplay’s ‘Viva La Vida’ by the pupils.

Then a video was shown of each pupil describing the person who inspired them, the highlight of their time at the school and hopes for the future.

Each student received a pen, a hoodie and a certificate of graduation. For ten families, the graduation saw the last of their children leave the school, so they received a certificate of thanks for their support of Blennerville NS down the years.

The children will now embark on a new journey in various secondary schools around Tralee and we wish them the best for the future. Scroll down for photos…
