19th of June 2020 was officially the last day of our school year and the start of our summer holidays. As the children couldn’t be at school for this special occasion we decided we would bring the celebration to their homes – all 26 of them!
Fr Pat started the day off by celebrating mass for all three mainland schools in the parish, which we were able to watch via the ‘magic’ of the internet. The teachers and staff then set off on a tour of The Rosses in a bid to visit every one of our students and wish them a happy summer, present certificates, deliver party bags and of course to say a proper farewell to our 6th class students.
It was a very special day and we were given a lovely welcome everywhere we went, although some students were surprised and overcome with shyness at the appearance of their teachers 🙂 We hardly recognised a lot of them as they had grown so much since we last saw them.
We had 5 students who received certificates for 100% attendance – well done: Shauna, OisÃn, Jimmie Joe, Eli & Robyn.
IT’S NOT GOODBYE – IT’S JUST FAREWELL…..
It was especially poignant to see all our 6th class students who will be moving on to secondary school in September. They were such a vibrant, energetic and creative group of young people whose presence will certainly be missed and we want to wish them all every success in future.
