A BEAUTIFUL graduation ceremony was held at Presentation Primary’s hall on Tuesday morning as 32 girls said goodbye to the school before moving on to the next chapter of their education.
It was an emotional event for all as Principal John Hickey welcomed the girls, parents and other family members for the occasion.
The pupils, taught this year by Ruth Lowney, had a big part to play of course, reciting their own poems, singing the closing song ‘Somewhere Only We Know’ and they made their own mortar boards for the ceremony which were duly flung into the air at the end of the ceremony.

The ‘Banna Ceoil’ performed the music under Helena Hennessy, while two Ukrainian girls sang a song from their homeland fitting for the occasion.
Sixth class pupil Jane O’Callaghan received an award for outstanding contribution to music while Emily O’Day was recognised for her Student of the Year award.
“This is the last all-girls class we have in the school so it’s the end of an era for us. It’s also the end of an era for many parents whose youngest children are graduating from primary school,” said Principal Hickey, who wished them all well for secondary school. Scroll down for photos…
