LEAVING school can be an emotional time and it was certainly the case for the 10 graduates from St Ita’s and St Joseph’s School on Friday.

Families gathered at the school for a Mass followed by a presentation of certificates to the students who hail from all over Kerry and beyond.

Special guest on the afternoon was Aidan O’Mahony who said he was delighted to come, especially as his nephew, Oisín, is a past pupil.

He congratulated them all on their achievement after their hard work over the years.

Principal Grace Sheehan also congratulated the students who enjoyed their time at the school.

“The students would have been here a number of years, some came at primary level, other at post-primary,” said Principal Grace Sheehan.

“They are all on different paths now. Some of them will go National Learning Network, the John Of Gods Life Skills programme, vocational training, so it’s a variety of programmes they will be attending depending on their skills and talents,” she said. Scroll down for photos…
