A MOMENTOUS day in the lives of eleven students arrived on Friday when they graduated after years of education at St Ita’s and St Joseph’s school in Tralee.
The students, dressed in their caps and gowns, were joined by their families and school staff for a lovely ceremony to mark the end of the time at the school in Balloonagh.
“They’ve been fantastic students over the years and brought a smile to my face every day,” said Principal Grace Sheehan.

“We’ll find it hard to see them go but we’re delighted for them. They’ll move on to further education and training,” she added.
The students had a tough couple of years with COVID restrictions but came through it.
“The first lockdown was shock initially and we put our heads together to facilitate online learning. During the second lockdown we had a mixture of students at home and at school as some were not able to attend due to health issues, but eventually they all came back,” she said.
A day to remember for all then and best of luck to the students in their future endeavours. Scroll down for photos…
