Academic Prize Giving 2024

A Night to Celebrate Excellence: Academic Prize Giving 2024

Last week, we hosted our annual Academic Prize Giving, a night dedicated to honoring the exceptional achievements of our students across various year groups. The event captured the spirit of academic dedication, creativity, and perseverance that defines our school community.

Acting Headmaster Cormac Ua Bruadair opened the evening with a warm and inspiring welcome, celebrating the collective efforts of students, staff, and supporters. Ms. Siobhan Daly gracefully facilitated the distribution of prizes, recognizing each student’s outstanding contributions to our school’s academic life.

This year, we were privileged to welcome Stephen Shortt as our guest speaker. Stephen, a renowned advocate for helping individuals and organizations find more fulfilling and rewarding career paths, shared his insights on embracing challenges and pursuing personal and professional growth. Drawing on his extensive experience with family businesses, talent development, and global competitions, Stephen captivated the audience with a message of resilience, adaptability, and the importance of aligning passion with purpose. His keynote left a lasting impression, inspiring students to consider how their academic journey connects to future possibilities.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the sponsors and community members whose generosity made this event possible, as well as to the staff who worked tirelessly to ensure its success. Together, we celebrated not just individual accomplishments but the shared pursuit of excellence that unites our school.

The Academic Prize Giving 2024 was more than a recognition of achievement—it was a testament to the dedication, curiosity, and determination of our students. We look forward to seeing them continue to shine, both within and beyond our school walls.
