The Transition Year Graduation Ceremony was a heartwarming and joyful event, marking the end of a year filled with new experiences, personal development, and unforgettable memories. Students, staff, and families gathered to reflect on an exceptional year and to celebrate the achievements of our TY students.
One of the highlights of the evening was a fond farewell to our Spanish exchange student, María, who became a cherished member of our school community. As a token of appreciation and remembrance, María was presented with a small gift — a gesture to ensure she always remembers her Irish TY family. Hasta luego, María — we’ll miss you!

Student Reflections
Though Laoise Harding was unable to attend, Ciara Corcoran stepped up to speak beautifully on her behalf. Ciara shared reflections on the friendships made, the experiences gained, and the incredible personal journeys undertaken by the TY class of 2025.
Following Ciara, Jack Kelly delivered an engaging address, highlighting some of the year’s most memorable moments and encouraging students to carry the lessons and memories with them into the next chapter of their lives.
