The 28th June 2010 was a very happy and sad day for the girls of 6th Class in St. Brigid's Primary School, The Coombe.
It was their last day EVER at St. Brigid's. Joined by their parents and families they celebrated their Graduation Mass. There were beautiful readings and prayers, not to mention art work and singing, all meticulously prepared by the girls. Of course they had the help of their teacher Ms. Doyle, whom they have all come to love and respect.
This year was a big year for them, as they celebrated their Confirmation in April. They were confirmed by the Episcopal Vicar, Monsignor Dermot Clarke. This was the first time ever, that anyone had been confirmed by an Episcopal Vicar in Francis Street Parish. So their Confirmation Photo, which will be displayed in the school, will mark an historical occasion.
After the Graduation Mass, the girls entertained us all with special Dance Routines, that they themselves had worked out. It was a very emotional experience for them and needless to say, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. However the special Slide Show prepared by their teachers, brought a smile to everyone's face. Each girl received a copy to keep as a reminder of their time in St. Brigid's.
There was also the presentation of prizes and special awards. This class achieved the greatest number of Gold Medals ever, for school attendance. This in itself reflects not only how much they loved their school and their teachers, but also all the hard work they put in. We wish them well.
