"Their teachers Maura, Jackie, Declan, Albie, and Elaine spoke about each student, and told us how proud they are of all the wonderful young people they have become. We wish them all the best as they prepare to say goodbye to St Patrick's and move onto pastures new,' they added.
To add to the bittersweet feeling, the students and staff had created a beautiful video of the graduates singing along to a song off the soundtrack of smash hit musical Wicked.
''For Good' is a song form the musical Wicked about the profound and lasting impact that a close friendship has on individuals involved, even when they must go their separate ways. It acknowledges the bittersweet nature of parting ways and the enduring influence of that friendship on their lives. There wasn't a dry eye in the Riverside by the end of this video!'
The school extended their warm wishes for the future to Ella, Ailish, Cameron R, Fionn, Dylan, Kenneth, Jacob, Ger, Larry, Cameron G, Wiktoria, Jamie, Cody, and Amber.
