  Today we bid a sad farewell to our wonderful Year 7 pupils.  The day began with our Leavers' Breakfast.  This was followed by our Annual Year 7 Prizegiving and Leavers' Mass in Mater Dei.  Pupils were also had a Record of Achievement Presentation, whereby they had an opportunity to walk the red carpet for the final time as they said their final goodbyes.  It was an emotional time for all involved but they are all well ready for the next big adventure into second level education.
