IT was a glorious Thursday morning as the sixth class pupils of Scoil Eoin Balloonagh made their way to the school hall for a final farewell to their primary schooldays.
The 75 pupils celebrated their eight years at the school with a special graduation ceremony attended by their families and it proved an emotional experience for all.
A Mass celebrated by Fr Padraig Walsh was followed by an address from Principal Kieran O’Toole who congratulated them all and wished them well as they embark on another journey in secondary schools around the town.

After a short break for refreshments, pipers led the students back in the hall where special presentations were made to them and their favourite memories of the years spent at the school were shared.
The students then concluded with their graduation song, ‘I’ll Always Remember You’ by Miley Cyrus and there were very few dry eyes in the house after that! Scroll down for photos…
